Object Handling 95

The snapping distance is controlled by the MOUSE tab of the OPTIONS dialog box
("UTILITIES" > "OPTIONS" or right click a page and choose PAGE OPTIONS).

You can specify two snap distances in the "Magetic snap radii" section, which control
how close things need to be before they will snap together. The size of a circle around
points (point) and the distance either side of lines (lines). It's usually best to make the
point value larger than the line value, so that it's easier to snap to the end points of lines.

Customizing Designer Pro (on page 624) has full details of the Options dialog.
Snapping modes
You can change the behavior of snap to objects while dragging by tapping a key to
toggle different modes on and off. These mode changes are effective only for the
duration of the current drag.
