Can you turn snapping on/off mid vector creation?

CarrickCon

G'day GM'ers,

Is there a way to disable/enable snapping while creating a vector? For instance sometimes its helpful to start and finish creation of a line by snapping to existing points but you don't necessarily want to snap while creating intermediate points.

I've looked but can't seem to find a way to do this as the snapping option has to be enabled/disabled prior to creating a new vector. It would be a helpful addition if you could please add it.

I note that Ortho command can be toggled on/off mid vector creation and that is helpful.

Cheers,

Hello!

Yes, GM has built-in keyboard shortcuts for that:

Happy mapping!

Thanks Amanda.

That's a great tip and I've been using it already this morning!

You can also add a button with disable/enable snapping and with what type of snap to be active.

I found it more useful
