UV Visual Cursor¶
Place the UV Editor's 2D cursor on a snap point of the selection's bounding box — the UV counterpart of Visual Origin. A nine-point cage (corners, edge midpoints, centre) is drawn around the selected UVs; hover to highlight a point and click to set the cursor there. Hold Alt to snap to the UDIM tile under the mouse instead. Edit Mode, UV Editor.
Hotkey: Not bound by default — assign a key in Preferences › iOps › Keymaps, or run it from operator search.
Controls¶
| Key | Action |

Tips¶
- With nothing selected the tool starts in tile mode.
- Setting the cursor only moves the cursor; use Drag Snap UV to move the UVs themselves.
