What is the difference between grid and snap?

The grid helps you align objects and visualize the distances between them. The grid is not plotted. Grid Snap restricts the movement of the crosshairs to intervals that you define. When Snap is turned on, the cursor seems to adhere, or “snap,” to an invisible rectangular grid when you create or modify objects.

What are modes in AutoCAD?

Object Snaps, Ortho Mode, and Polar Tracking

• object snaps/osnaps: Geometric points on objects such as the endpoints or midpoint of a line or the center of an arc or circle.
• orthographic: 90° increments.
• polar tracking: A process in which AutoCAD will lock the cursor movement to predefined angles.

What are the object snap modes?

What is Polar Snap?

PolarSnap restricts cursor movement to specified increments along a polar angle. When you create or modify objects, you can use polar tracking to display temporary alignment paths defined by the polar angles you specify. In 3D views, polar tracking additionally provides an alignment path in the up and down directions.

4. Check the value of the AUTOSNAP variable and make sure that it is an odd number.
