/* Object Snap Points & EM.Cube's Snap Modes */
# '''Snap to Face Mode''': This mode allows you to snap the cursor to all the points on any face or any surface object. Using the '''Status Bar''' you can read the coordinates of any point on any irregular or curved surface. Note that if the "Snap to Grid" is also enabled at the same time, the cursor will snap to a point on the face or surface that has the shortest distance from closest grid point.
The "Snap to Grid" mode is controlled independent of the other snap modes. "Snap to Object" is the default mode of [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]]. To switch to one of the other three snap modes, double click on the box displaying '''Obj Snap: ON''' on the '''Status Bar''', and cycle through these modes in the order: '''Snap: NODE''', '''Snap: EDGE''', '''Snap: FACE''', and '''Snap: OFF'''. The last mode completely disables any object snapping. You can enable or disable all the object snap modes from the '''View Menu''' by selecting '''View [[File:larrow_tn.png]] → Snap [[File:larrow_tn.png]] → Snap to Object''', '''Snap to Node''', '''Snap to Edge''', or '''Snap to Face'''. You can check or uncheck these menu items. When there is no check mark in front of one the four snap modes, then the object snapping is disabled. From this menu, you can also enable or disable the "Snap to Grid" mode. To do so, select or deselect '''View [[File:larrow_tn.png]] → Snap [[File:larrow_tn.png]] → Snap to Grid'''.
{{Note|Mouse-over and highlighting objects works only in one of the four object snap modes.}}
