4. When the temporary track point appears inside the Endpoint marker,
move the cursor, without clicking, over the Midpoint marker for the
topmost line of the sink.

5. When the temporary track point appears inside the Midpoint marker,
move the cursor directly above that point to the intersection of the
two track points. You have set, or acquired, two temporary tracking
points without using the Temporary Tracking Point osnap.

6. When the crosshair reaches a point directly above the first tracking
point, a vertical tracking line appears and the tooltip identifies the
intersection of the two tracking lines as Endpoint: <0.00 º , Midpoint:
<90.00 º (see Figure 7.34).
When you see this tooltip, click. This places the insertion point on
the inside wall line, centered over the sink.

When Object Snap
tracking is turned
on and the plus sign
(+) appears at the
Object Snap marker,
a tracking point has
been acquired . It
remains acquired
until you place the
cursor directly on
the object snap sym-
bol a second time or
until that part of the
command is done.
