And with object snapping, the cursor is on the lookout for certain geometric points on existing geometry. Things like endpoints, midpoints, centers, and so on. So let's start with increment snapping. Increment snapping is tied to the zoom level in the view. So what I'm going to do is zoom out a little bit here so I can demonstrate it for you.
