The enhancements make object snapping faster and easier to use. This faster response time is particularly helpful in larger drawings. You can now snap between and within symbols and XREFs (including nested levels). Also you can snap to polyline bulge centers and XClip boundaries.

The dynamic snap indicator automatically displays available object snap locations in real-time, based on your object snap settings. Choose Program Preferences from the Tools pull-down menu, then click the Interface tab to access settings for the new dynamic snap indicator.

In the Tooltips section, use the radio button to enable Object Snap You can now change settings for the dynamic snap indicator:
  • Color controls the background color of the tooltip.
  • Display Delay controls the amount of time it takes for the tooltip to appear.
  • Hide Delay controls the amount of time it takes for the tooltip to disappear after it is displayed.
In the Dynamic Snapping section:
  • Indicator controls whether or not the dynamic snap indicator is displayed.
  • Hint controls whether or not the tooltip is displayed.
  • Indicator Style determines which type of indicator is used.

The Object Snap menu (accessed by typing Shift-X or selecting Object Snap from the Utility menu) has changed:
  • No. Divisions – (replaces No. Points) allows you to search for a specified number of divisions.
  • Offset – lets you snap to a specific offset from the endpoint or midpoint. Use Offset Dist to define the offset distance. For example, setting and Offset Dist of 0.4 will enable object snapping to points four inches from endpoints and midpoints.
  • More Options – leads to a submenu that contains some of the options that were moved from previous versions of the Object Snap menu: Fast Symbol, Fast 3D, Quick, and Sel. Set.
