​I have this question posted in another forum, but I'm not getting any responses, maybe someone can shed some light on my issue....thanks in advance. I have never really been able to figure out the snapping tool.  I am trying to using the snapping toolset available in ArcMap 10.2.1.  I like this one because I am trying to snap to a midpoint of a line.  I started out trying to do this in a layout view, and I found some posts that said it would only work in the data view. So I jumped to the data view, and I have created a rectangle from the Drawing toolbar.  Now I want to strike a line from the midpoint of two sides of the rectangle dividing it in to fourths.  I have tried turning snapping on, off, setting all the various snaps....end, mid, and so on, and so on.  I just cant get anything to snap.  I am not really clear if the snaps will work with elements drawn from the Drawing toolbar like lines and rectangles, or if it just works with entities from my feature classes.  I have seen posts saying it will work with both. I have tried messing with the size of the snap box, it appears it only takes pixels in the new toolset, and I have tried a small #, a large #, and a really large #.  I also read some posts on classic snapping.  I see how to use it, but it appears to be limited to endpoint, vertex, and edge.  What about midpoint?  I really need the midpoint at the moment.  I am not sure if classic snapping was that limited or not.  Oh yes, I can't get classic snapping to work either.  I see how to set all the snaps in the various snapping toolsets, but it's like snapping is not turned on.  The new snapping toolbar has a very clear way of telling if snapping is on or not, and let me tell you, I'm confident I've got it turned on.  I've spent all morning trying to figure this thing out.  I've searched posts, blogs, and searching for support from ESRI online forums.  Any help you can lend is greatly appreciated!!!!

Can anyone help me find the best free satellite imagery.  The world imagery used by ESRI online appears current until you zoom in past a certain scale.  Can anyone help direct me to a tool that has better 'up close' imagery?  I am curious why the imagery reverts back to older imagery once you get in past the certain scale.  I appreciate your help. ...
