Snap Position Section
When creating or moving objects restricts graphic objects vertically, horizontally, or diagonally (45°) during these actions. You can temporarily deactivate this setting by pressing the ⇧ Shift key.
Extend edges controls how a square or circle is drawn with the drawing tool. When the Extend edges box is marked, the sides of the square created when the ⇧ Shift key is pressed before you release the mouse button will be equal to the longer side of the rectangle you have actually drawn. This also applies to the ellipse tool: when the ⇧ Shift key is pressed before you release the mouse button, a circle will be created based on the longest diameter of the ellipse. When the Extend edges box is not marked, a square or a circle will be created based on the shorter side or diameter.
When rotating restricts the rotation of graphic objects within the rotation angle that you select in the When rotating box. If you want to rotate an object outside of the defined angle, press the Ctrl key ( ⇧ Shift key on Mac) when rotating. Release the key when the desired rotation angle is reached.
Point reduction defines the angle for point reduction. When working with polygons, you might find it useful to reduce the number of editing points to make it easier to snap to a desired point.
