I have watched some tutorials, and the guy on the tutorials uses splines to cut shapes into other objects. He turns on some snap thing which snaps the verts to the verts on the spline which is a different object.

Although when I use this tool nothing will snap, can anyone tell me how to do this please?

Right click your "Angle Snaps toggle" Click the "Snaps" tab and then change your snaps accordingly. If you're working with splines I'd recommend selecting the end point, mid point and or vertex snaps options.

Angle snap is the button highlighted in the middle.

This may or may not help.

in Mech's pic, the magnet with the 3 is the "snap to" button, if you leftclick and hold on this button it gives the option for 2.5 and 2.

Also, right click some empty toolbar space and hit Snaps and you'll get a handy, dockable tool strip with all the snap toggles on.
