PROBLEM
Unable to snap to new sketch's vertices when creating a new line or a polygon
Description
When first creating a new line or a polygon, the ability to snap to the new sketch's vertices is not available when snapping has been set.
Cause
This is intended functionality because the sketch is not actually a feature until the sketch is finished.
Solution or Workaround
To snap to vertices or an edge in the sketch, check the option in the snapping menu to edit the sketch.![[O-Image] Sketch Snapping](https://webapps-cdn.esri.com/CDN/support-site/technical-articles-images/000008684/00N39000003LL2C-0EM39000000wcxa.png)
