In MicroStation, use AccuSnap to select precise points on drawing geometry. When active a yellow X highlights the keypoints. There is no element object snap tracking in MicroStation however, when AccuDraw is active, the cursor tracks to an axis on the AccuDraw compass (usually X or Y). The AccuSnap settings can be found under Settings > Snap > AccuSnap.
