Tracker enables you to snap an object's axes to the global coordinate system, for accurate positioning and aligning of objects.


    **To snap an object to the global coordinate system:**


1. On the **Objects** pane, click the **Pause** button > Macro (inline-media-image)

.
2. On the **Window** menu, click **Options** and in the dialog box, click **Objects**. Ensure **Snap Global** is selected. If required, you can change the **Snap Distance (mm)**.
3. Ensure nothing is selected and then in the view pane, drag or rotate the object axes to enable them to snap to the grid.
  :check_mark: **Tip**: To change the distance between the lines of the grid to which objects can snap, in the **Options** dialog box, select **Floor Grid** and adjust as required.
