Drag Snap Cursor

Drag Snap Cursor

Point-to-point move driven by the 3D Cursor. Press Q and drag the cursor onto a source vertex, press Q again to lock it, then Q-drag onto the target vertex — the selected objects are moved by the resulting offset. Handy for exact alignment between two objects in Object Mode.

Hotkey: Not bound by default — assign a key in Preferences › iOps › Keymaps, or run it from operator search.

Controls

Key Action
Q (hold + drag) Snap the 3D Cursor to the vertex under the mouse; release to place the point
Q (press) Confirm the current point and move on to the next step
MMB / Wheel Navigate the viewport
Esc / RMB Cancel
H Show / hide the help legend

Tips

  • The status bar tells you which step you are on (point A, confirm, point B).
  • Cancelling after the first point leaves the 3D Cursor where you snapped it.
