And in this movie, I'd like to talk about snapping behavior. Now, snapping behavior just simply refers to the softwares anticipating the increment or the geometrical locations that you want your cursor to jump to. So we have really two kinds of snap behavior. We have increment snapping, where the snapping of your cursor is going to be tied to a distance, and then we have object snap behavior, where it will actually snap to key geometric points on those objects.
