Where are the SNAP tools in Sketch Workbench?
Hi there,
I'm drawing a building in a sketch. The rooms are not regular and I need to set the measure of the edges, diagonal, and more.
Yes I use the constraints (great tool) but I suffer the lack of the SNAP tools.
Is ther a possibility to anable its?

No snapping in Sketcher, it's all done by constraints. Check Autoconstraints box to get something slightly similar.

Indeed, I forgot the grid. It is not much used among Sketcher friends, because snapping to the grid does not really connect the elements. This leads to issues when such sketch is used for features such as Pad or Pocket.

Yes, the problem is the snapped edges do not remain in place if the element is moved or constrained on the other end.

I knew the Autoconstraints and I used it, but sometime the Autoconstraints did not respond
Use the attached FC file and try to autoconstraints the highlighted line

Re: Where are the SNAP tools in Sketch Workbench?
Autoconstraints on/off is a property of the sketch, although what is displayed in the panel at the left depends on the preferences (known bug). You have to toggle autoconstraints off and on again and they should work.
