    • Hold the SHIFT key to snap to the nearest corner. 
    • Hold the COMMAND key to snap to the nearest line.

What These Tools Do.

• SHIFT KEY: Holding the shift key will snap to the nearest corner of an existing paddock. You can then left click to place a point here.
• CONTROL/COMMAND KEY: Holding this key will snap to the nearest line/ boundary on an existing paddock.

Importance Of Using The Snapping Tools.

• Resolution will allow a 1% overlap with an existing paddock, however we recommend having no overlap whatsoever, use these tools to ensure this.
• If your paddock has more than 1% overlap with another paddock, it will cause a validation error when you try to “Validate and Save Changes”, which will not allow your map to be validated until this errors are rectified.
• Ensuring you use these tools for precision and accuracy when creating and editing your farms map will allow you to “Validate and Save Changes” successfully.
