you dont have to even turn snapping on, just G then B and select vertex and move

What? Just change to snap to active vertex go into edit mode and make the corner you want the active element.

[AhmadHossam]

well u dont need to know that anymore but its snaps to the nearest vertices not the nearest to the mouse so u just g without snapping near the position so now the nearest vertices is the one u want to snap so g again with control for the snap n it will snap

This video is misleading, as you said use blender as autocad so you should cover all alternative of autocad in blender,
either you make tittle saying "snap like cad in blender"

Snapping in blender has issues left and right

That’s why I use an additional spanning tool if teach it to interior people

Great. Kinda pathetic though, i remember i had started a thread on Bl. Artists some about version 1.8 or 2.8)). Absolutely basic idea, no need to invent the wheel. Wcs, Ucs, ref point, Osnap constrains...;could not be then understood.
