What happened to the snaps in BlueBeam 21.8?

I drew two lines and want to measure a distance from the intersection of the two lines to another point, however, I cannot seem to find where the snap controls have been moved to in BlueBeam Revu 21.8. For reference I have snap to content and snap to markups both enabled.

Still in the same spot for the snap options. Revu > Preferences > General > Grid & Snap

Interesting question @LFlynn. While I'm familiar with "snap to intersection" in CAD programs I didn't think Revu had this feature. I'm back in Revu 21.6 with the same "snap to content" and "snap to markups" settings turned on. While I can get close to an intersection I wouldn't say that Revu is snapping to both of the crossing lines at the exact intersection….

Zoomed in as close as I can get with line widths set at "0.10 pt" for reference:

I started with the green and yellow lines, then added the blue. Appears that it snapped to the middle of the green, but I can't get it also snap to the yellow at the same time. "Missed it by that much"… 😎

I agree, Dave. I've never gotten been able to snap to intersections.
