Speed matters—especially when you’re working in large, complex drawings. In TPC 26, Snap Nearest has been enhanced to give you more control, faster response times, and a smoother drafting experience where it counts most.
What’s Changed
Snap Nearest now allows you to select the object you want to snap nearest to before snapping. Once selected, TPC limits the Snap Nearest operation to that single object instead of searching the entire drawing.
The result is:
- Faster snapping in large drawings
- More predictable behavior
- Greater control when precision matters
Why This Matters in Real Workflows
This isn’t just a performance tweak—it’s a workflow upgrade.
🧭 Boundary & Plat Drafting
When drafting boundaries or plats with many overlapping objects, Snap Nearest can now be focused on a single line or curve. This prevents accidental snaps to nearby features and keeps drafting precise and responsive, even in dense drawings.
📐 Linework Cleanup & Editing
During cleanup or revisions, it’s common to work around one specific object at a time. Limiting snapping to that object reduces mis-snaps and speeds up trimming, extending, and editing tasks.
🏗️ Large Survey Drawings
As drawings grow—with control, topography, easements, and annotations—snapping performance can suffer. By restricting Snap Nearest to a selected object, TPC dramatically reduces the processing required, making large files feel lighter and more responsive.
🗺️ Targeted Drafting in Busy Areas
When working in congested areas of a drawing, you may only want to reference one feature—such as a curb line, centerline, or right-of-way. Smarter Snap Nearest keeps your focus exactly where it belongs.
Better Control, Better Results
This enhancement is also ideal when you intentionally want to limit snapping to a single object—not just for speed, but for accuracy. By reducing ambiguity, Snap Nearest behaves more like you expect, especially in high-detail work.
Built for How You Work
The smarter Snap Nearest in TPC 26 is a perfect example of how small, thoughtful changes can make a big difference. It’s faster where performance matters most and more intuitive where precision is critical.
Less waiting. Fewer mis-snaps. Faster drawings. TPC 26 keeps your drafting moving forward.
