You've drawn some of the wall lines, approximating their endpoint locations. Next you'll use the
Fillet command to join lines exactly end to end and then import the kitchen drawing.
UNDERSTANDING THE OSNAP TRACKING VECTOR
The Osnap Tracking vector comes into play only after you've placed an Osnap marker on a location—
in this case, the corner of the bathroom. It won't appear at any other time. If you have both Running
Osnaps and Osnap Tracking turned on, you'll get the tracking vector every time the cursor lands on
an osnap location. This can be confusing to novice users, so you may want to use Osnap Tracking
sparingly until you become more comfortable with it.
Because Polar Tracking also uses a tracking vector, you may get the two confused. Remember that
Polar Tracking lets you point the cursor in a specific direction while selecting points. If you're an
experienced AutoCAD user, you can think of it as a more intelligent Ortho mode. On the other
hand, Osnap Tracking lets you align points to osnap locations. Experienced AutoCAD users can
think of Osnap Tracking as a more intelligent XYZ filter option.
