Snap to Point allows you to switch on the digital data points that are supplied on the Detail layers . Click the Snap to Point button to switch on the digital data points.
You will see white and orange dots appear on your map. These are the digital data points. The orange dots denote the beginning of lines, end of lines and a change in the map feature while the white dots indicate other changes in the lines.
You can connect these points using the Shape tool to measure the exact area of a site. You need to click every white and orange dot on the outline of the shape to get an accurate measurement.
To obtain the exact distance from one point to another and to check clearance from a specific point, you use snap to point with the Get Length tool.
Without Snap to Point the accuracy of any measurement is only as good as your drawing skills.
Note: Snap to point is only available on a Detail map. |
