Snap, Grid, Zoom, and UCS in CADStudio

The first reference for CADStudio drawing aids: snap, circle intersection snap points, ortho, grid opacity, zoom speed, pan, zoom, and UCS.

Drawing aids are in the bottom bar and top toolbar.

SNAP helps picked points land on available drawing points. When snap is on, CADStudio also considers circle intersections as snap points.

ORTHO constrains line and dimension work to horizontal or vertical movement when that is the intended drafting mode.

Grid opacity changes the visual strength of the drafting grid. Zoom speed changes how quickly the mouse wheel zooms in and out.

Use pan and zoom to move around the drawing. Zoom Extents returns the view to the visible drawing contents.

Use UCS From Line when you want a local axis from an existing line. UCS: Global toggles between the local UCS and the global coordinate system.
