gvSIG-Desktop 1.11. User manual

You can configure the “Snap tolerance” in the first editing page. “Snap” or “Snapping” is the process of moving an element until it coincides exactly with the coordinates of another element. If the “Snap tolerance” is 4 pixels, two elements which are the same distance or closer than 4 pixels will be joined in a common coordinate.

You can do element snapping between layers by enabling the corresponding check boxes in the “Selected” column.

You can modify the values of the "Maximum features edition cache" column to accelerate the snappings and handlers being edited. This is the maximum number of geometries you wish to work with in the cache.
