Snap points are used with a variety of tools in Innoplus, from moving items to defining measures and tile areas. The snapping point toolbar icons only appear when you are using certain functions, for example Create tile area.
There are a lot of snapping points available to the Innoplus user (see article How to use the snap point tool) but the most commonly used ones and how to use them can be seen below:
