Actually this question from the Head modelling tutorial
http://www.3dm-mc.com/tutorials/maya/head/index2.php

My question is for the knot of EP curve snapping.

In the nurbs patches modelling step, we need to follow the steps, Fundamental curves for the face, cut curve, rebuild curve. To create the surface, we need 3 or 4 curve and they must touch each other.

When I was drawing the curves for the face, it's easy to start a point of a new curve on the old one (to make sure they touch each other.) by snap to curve. But when I adjusted one curve, the end point will get off another curve. (Can't guranttee connection) When I want to move the end point of one curve onto another one. The "snapping to curve" doesn't work.

In the tutorial, it was saying Then draw the curves that define the eye, nose and mouth and connect them. That is how I understand "connect".

To say in brief, my question is : how to snap to another curve or point when moving one Knot of a EP curve? If I draw I new one, I can snap to the cuve I want. But when I edit the curve, moving the knot, it doesn't work.
