Snap Toolbar and Settings
Most objects generated within the AcroPlot Matrix program can be "snapped" or connected to specific points, existing objects, grid lines or guide lines. Using the Snap Settings in this toolbar menu can control how, when and where input objects are able or snap to other objects, or not, as the case may be.
Properties for Grid lines and Guides (spacing, color, units, thresholds, etc.) can be set in the Edit Menu > Preferences > Measurement location.

When "Snap to Annotations Only" is enabled, the functionality for snapping is limited to the annotation and comment objects that exist within the document or drawing. Snapping to existing objects within the document or drawing are ignored. This can help speed up commenting / annotating a document or drawing that may have complex line work or a hatch pattern with thousands of tiny objects that would otherwise be snap choices.
