"Shade" a very expensive 3D software I once loved, use an unusual
technique for point snapping to other point from other object.
Simply select the desination point and press the "Memory" button then
select the point to be moved to that location then press "Apply" button.
It's not the fastest method but it is very precise.

Just got back to RS after a couple weeks away. Still having problems
with snapping. I was going through one manual and using the pen tool
to make a sweep surface with curves. (One profile, on path, I guess.)
I decided after making the surface that i wanted to snap the two
curves together at their starting point. No matter what I did (5 key,
comma key, etc) I could not get them to snap in 3D. They would snap in
2D but be horrible off in the projection. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, why didn't RS simply put snapping options in a tool options bar?
One fellow teacher I knew didn't like it when software maker required
you to memorize what he called "finger gymnastics." What is so
difficult about making a snap tool bar with options? I'm dyslexic
(yes, I am actually dyslexic which is why interfaces make a big
difference for me) enough to have to try and memorize 10 different
special (no other way to access the feature) keyboard commands for 10
different programs who's makers think that theirs is the only program
that you use.
