Select the item you want snapped (that is, moved in 
          relation to another object).   
          
            
              | Note that in this example, the part has been designed so that 
              the snapping point is not on the part itself (you can see where 
              the snapping point is by observing where the compass is).  
              The part will retain its position relative to the compass when it 
              is snapped. |

Move the cursor so that the white plane indicator is 
          on the correct plane and oriented correctly (to point the orientation 
          in the opposite direction, use the Shift key). 
          
           
          - 
          
Click on the geometry. 
          
            
              | The item's snap point (which, in the case of this example, is 
              separated from the item itself) is snapped to the surface. |

(Optional) To orient the part 
          differently, right-click on the compass, and then select Edit.

              | The Parameters for Compass Manipulation dialog box 
              appears. |

Rotate the compass or change the data in the box.
