Entering a Point at a Specific Distance from an Endpoint AutoPoint indicator Jump snap allows you to enter a point on a line, arc, polyline segment, or polygon segment at a specific distance from an endpoint. This is especially useful for inserting symbols at a specific point along an entity. For instance, you could set the jump distance to make sure a door symbol will clear the wall. You can enter the jump distance in terms of distance measurements or as a percentage of the entity/segment length. As you move the pointer in the drawing, an AutoPoint Indicator identifies the nearest Jump point. To enter a precise "Jump" point on an entity 1 While in a drawing mode, activate Jump snap on the Snaps toolbar. The Jump Settings dialog box appears. 2 In the Jump Method drop-down list box, click either distance or percentage. 3 In the Jump Value text box enter either a distance or a percentage value (depending on which method you selected in step 2). 4 Click the entity near one of its endpoints. Entering the Midpoint of an Entity AutoPoint indicator Midpoint snap allows you to enter a point at the precise midpoint of a line, arc, polyline segment, or polygon segment. As you move the pointer over the drawing, a triangular AutoPoint Indicator identifies the midpoint of entities you pass over. Entering a Point at a Specific Distance from an Endpoint | 105
