Hi,

There are quite a few handy snap settings in AutoCAD (and ADT). 

-  Snap to Endpoints (essentially vertices)
-  Snap to Intersection
-  Snap to Midpoint
-  Snap to Perpendicular
-  Snap to Centre / Quadrants of a circle
-  Snap to Nearest (any point along a line)
-  Even more that I can't remember right now.

There are also options like 'OTRACK' which basically means extending
lines to an imaginary intersection and snapping to that point.

Cheers,

Simon
