Using drawing aids in Archicad
We have noted before that Archicad provides plenty of onscreen feedback. A large part of this feedback consists of several drawing aids, aimed at modeling more precisely and efficiently. All of these drawing aids can be turned on and off through the menu or by using the buttons in the Toolbar. In this section, we will get to know the following aids and how to use them: Snap Guides, Guide Lines, and the Tracker we already mentioned.
