DWGeditor equivalent of extension osnap in AutoCAD?

DWGeditor equivalent of extension osnap in AutoCAD?

(OP)
Is there a way to turn on extension snaps in DWGeditor? Extensions from midpoints, line endpoints, etc. as AutoCAD does. For example the sort of functionality shown here (http://www.cadtutor.net/tutorials/autocad/object-snap.php) under "To Draw the Circle" near the bottom of the page under "Object Snap Tracking."
I haven't been able to replicate this functionality in DWGeditor and I'm wondering if it exists or not.
Thank you!

RE: DWGeditor equivalent of extension osnap in AutoCAD?

They are called ESNAPS in DWG Editor.  You just need to click the "ESNAP" button near the bottom of the window.  I'm not sure there is a specific toolbar for this?  Just like AutoCAD you can set which snaps are active.

www.draftsight.com also has this functionlality and is a bit more user friendly.  It's a free product.
