In-Depth Information
When you draw the bowl of the sink, the bowl will be represented by an ellipse. You want to
place the center of the ellipse at the center of the rectangle you've just drawn. To do this, you'll
use the midpoint of two adjoining sides of the rectangle as alignment locations. This is where
the Osnap Tracking tool will be useful.
You need to make sure that both the Object Snap tool and the Midpoint Object Snap option
are turned on. Then you'll make sure Osnap Tracking is turned on. Use these steps:
1.
Right-click the Object Snap Tracking tool in the status bar and choose Settings from
the shortcut menu to open the Drafting Settings dialog box at the Object Snap tab (see
Figure 3.18).
2.
Make sure the Midpoint check box in the Object Snap Modes group is selected.
3.
Also make sure Object Snap On and Object Snap Tracking On are both selected. Click
OK. You'll notice that the Object Snap and Object Snap Tracking tools in the status bar are
now in the on position.
