The color of the snap points uses the Custom Snap Points system color, part of the System Colors section on the Layers & Colors tab of the View Configuration panel.Generic model support includes STEP ( *.Stp and *.Step), Parasolid ( *.x_t and *.x_b), and SolidWorks ( *.SldPrt) formatted models.The snap points remaining for the chosen model will appear listed in the Snap Points section, when viewing the properties for the selected model in the Properties panel.Continue removing further snap points as required, or right-click, or press Esc, to exit.With the 3D cursor over a snap point, click, or press Enter, to remove that snap point. The 3D cursor will only move between existing snap points. Move the 3D cursor over the surface of the 3D model.The cursor will change to the 3D positional cursor (blue, six-pointed). Position the cursor over the 3D model of interest and click, or press Enter.The procedure for removing snap points is as follows: UseĪfter launching the command, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and you will be prompted to select the 3D model from which you wish to remove snap points. To switch to 3D Layout Mode, use the command of the same name, or use the 3 keyboard shortcut. The current viewing mode for the PCB document can be changed using the corresponding commands from the main View menu. Continue placing additional snap points as required or right-click or press Esc to exit.With the 3D cursor over a vertex, click or press Enter to place a snap point. When coming within close proximity of a local vertex, the 3D cursor will be magnetically pulled to that vertex. Move the 3D cursor over the surface of the 3D model. Pick the vertex where a snap point will be added.

Position the cursor over the 3D model of interest then click or press Enter.The procedure for adding snap points is as follows: Useįirst, ensure that you are viewing the board/footprint in 3D (use the 3 keyboard shortcut to quickly change to this mode, if not).Īfter launching the command, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and you will be prompted to select the 3D model to which you want to add snap points. To switch to 3D Layout Mode, use the command of the same name or use the 3 keyboard shortcut.
