After the first click, multiple snapping features are enabled. These include: Global axes, 90 degree angles, parallel lines, extensions of lines and line midpoints. All snapping features are automatically intersected to form combined snapping results. While moving the mouse, an orange dashed line is shown whenever snapping to such a feature occurs. Additionally, symbols are shown to differentiate the features:
