When sketching, you can hold down the SHIFT Key button pressed down and this will temporary disable Snap to Point. I still recommend that you keep this feature disable and only activated when needed for special intended designs.

1. Step 1: Here's how to disable Snap to Point in CATIA V5:

   Method 1: Using the Right-click Menu:

   1. Right-click on an empty area in the Sketch toolbar.
   2. In the context menu, hover over "Sketch tools".
   3. Uncheck the option "Snap to point".

   Method 2: Using the Keyboard Shortcut:

   Press the "Shift" key while sketching. This temporarily disables Snap to Point until you release the key.

   Additional Notes:

   • Disabling Snap to Point can give you more precise control over the placement of your points in the sketch.
   • You can re-enable Snap to Point by following the same steps and checking the option again.
   • Grid snapping might still be active even after disabling Snap to Point. To disable Grid snapping, look for the "Grid" button in the bottom toolbar and make sure it's not highlighted.
