URL....Constantly in 12 and 09 I have had issues snapping to endpoints since the changes to osnaps in ACad itself. It doesn't seem the ramifications were followed thru to ACA.
They seem to have addressed some issues in 12 but not all and often it dails completely.As osnaps is a basic functionality I think Adesk needs to get this working properly and as a fix for 10,11,12 and 13.
I had some problems with Osnaps that thery are imprecise!
When draw lines in 2d and zoom in to draw things are more detail, then the osnaps show double, and even worse if I import a block and the block places in a different place than the osnap shows.
What would cause Osnaps to stop working on 2D section linework?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm electrical and have my own display set oddly enough named "electrical". When I set the display to "electrical" I can't osnap to endpoint or midpoint of smart walls in the background (nearest works fine). When I change the display to something else, generally it works.
Is there an "osnap" setting for displays?
Okay so to start with I have a building with 2 staircores. Everything is drawn in 3d and I have drawn the 2 staircores as elements and subsequently Xrefed these elements into the relevant constructs and subsequently a 3D model view.
When I view the elements as a live drawing (ie. when I open the individual elements) the drawing views okay in plan and in 3D wireframe, hidden mode etc... no problem so far!
When the drawing is Xrefed into a construct and subsequently a 3D model all of the windows and doors disappear... but in 3d only - ie. viewed in plan mode they are fine. I have checked the display configurations in the constructs and views and they are all set to display these objects in the medium detail and high detail for the model and plan modes.
In 3d wireframe mode the windows and doors can be seen within the wall but the opening which they should create is non-existent!This occurs in teh construct and view drawings.
Here's the catch.... I have a 'West Staircore' and and 'East Staircore'. Both are drawn as individual elements. The West staircore is giving trouble, but the East is perfect. They were both set up using the same DWT file which means that the default display configuration settings should be identical.This is backed up by the fact that they view correctly in the live element drawings.
When they are both Xrefed into the same construct, one is fine and the other will not display in the 3D model!
every now and then i keep setting up my Osnaps. is there a permanent setting on Osnaps? or did i mess something in my CAD system?
View 6 Replies View Relatedhave finished loading 2007 onto them.Now, back with 2006 we could set osnaps to the function keys (e.g. F2 to snap to END). I have been told that you can't do this with 2007.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using education version of Autocad 2012 and have only around 2 gig of RAM. Whilst drawing , mainly in 3d my osnaps do not seem to work properly. In a lot of cases it is only the "nearest" snap that works. Sometimes I get no snaps when I think there should be plus I get a bunch of tiny green crosses around where I want to snap. Could my lack of RAM be causing this ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm facing a very weird problem with circle and interception osnaps. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've a space between the osnaps interception and the the circle line (pointer) when I'm trying to move it to the bottom or top line.
The problem doesn't occur with line. The osnap will go directly to the interception, but with the circle, I just can't understand... It's currently messing my drawing up, as I'm trying to move the circle tan point to another interception.
Here is the screenshots with only interception snap checked (working in milimeters if it does matter):
Well, seems it does occurs with all the snaps too, tested it with "nearest" too, and look how descaled it is:
i am trying to reduce the sensitivity of osnaps by changing the aperture. However, no matter how big or small I make the setting, my snaps are still way too sensitive. I can move my crosshairs across a whole line that's 48 inches long and I can only snap to an endpoint or midpoint (I want to just snap somewhere along the line). I have tuned on the option that shows the aperture, and it's definitely changing astetically, however the behavior of osnaps have not changed
View 2 Replies View RelatedWith osnap on endpoint only, no other dynamic inputs on, no polar, 3dobject snap dynamic input, grid or snap on.
The cursor looks like it jumps up form the endpoint but actually it moves in the same Z as the osnap. Also when i zoom in i can't move my cursor to the upper or lower part of the screen depending on where I zoom too. If I turn magnet off it seems better but still not correct. In the drawing I uploaded I can't move the cursor up to the entities. If I open a new drawing everything works, on a different drawing everything works. If I insert this into a new file I get the problems back.
I recently purchased LT 2012. I was using LT 2008 until now. When I grab a line from the endpoint grip and try to lengthen it by typing in a value it either shortens the length by the value I type, changes the overall length to the value I type, or does what I want it to- actually makes the line longer by the value I type but doesn't do any of these consistently. It didn't do this in any older version I've used and I can't find a setting to change it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhile using V2013, the middle button on the mouse to pop up the snap chart (mbuttonpan set to 0), I'm getting the zoom extents command in the middle of a command using snap from, then snap endpoint.
Here a quick example: while using hotkeys, I type c for copy-select objects-right click-choose basepoint, (here's where the problem occurs), middle mouse F(from) middle mouse E (endpoint). If I middle mouse F (snap From) pause then middle mouse E (snap endpoint) this works as it should. I click through the commands fast and it's slowing me down every time it zooms to extents in the middle of the command, which makes me zoom back in or cancel & undo.
I am look at a way to place the start of a line a certain distance away from the end of another endpoint. Is there a more productive way of doing this rather than drawing one line on the x axis and another on the y axis.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo when i would select a line, hover over one of the endpoints, the length and angle would be shown, as a quick dimension. for some reason that has stopped, all it does now if i select the line, hover over an endpoint the only thing it says is stretch, or lengthen.
RANT!!! (come on 2013, thats stupid, stretch and lengthen are basically the same thing, dont you think if i stretch something it would automatically lengthen something, and if i lenghtened something, it in fact would also be stretching it. and to see you replaced the simple dimensioning of that line with a pointless i wouldnt call it option. now to figure out the length i have to keep the properties file open, or i have to draw a faux line over the current one just to check its length, or literally i have to draw a dimension line.) EnD!!
What option might have been turned off? and that the new array no longer gives you a box, but you do it all through the command line. or the dynamic input. That was an AWESOME box that i do miss dearly, and no longer have the option to bring back..
Can I select a line and get the nearest endpoint so I can do something to the line using the endpoint as a base?
It will include an ssget and an osnap "end" in the code, but not too sure how to put it together.
I have tried using the hot grips selection by holding shift, but some of the grips are overlapping and I can only select the top most grip. It is also a slow process because I must click each individual grip that I want to move as a whole. Is there a way of selecting multiple grips at once including grips that are beneath others?

How do I join two line endpoint together, which terminate at the same anchor point and are at a 90 degree angle, to form a corner instead of a stair step? My problem is on the left, and I want it to look like the right corner.

“Adjust the length or angle of straight segments
1. With the Direct Selection tool, select an anchor point on the segment you want to adjust.
2. Drag the anchor point to the desired position. Shift-drag to constrain the adjustment to multiples of 45°.”
Question: How do I proceed if I’d like to extend a line on one side by its endpoint, while I want to keep its original angle instead of 45° degrees?
And: assuming we’re not working with a standing-alone line, but as part of a construction, as you can see on the screenshot. The point should be move to the intersection on both lines (green and turquois).
I thought, maybe working with functions in GRAPHER – but I hope there is an easier way directly in ILLUSTRATOR.
How to position a Point Helper at the endpoint of the Taper Length in 3d space? I think it would extend the Taper in its use for rigging things. Have a look at the screenshot. I mean the magenta ones.
I know there is a mathematically way with vector analysis, but it's to long ago to script it fast. Or is there a helper which has the same capability?
I was wondering the best way to draw a circle that passes through an endpoint of a line and then is tangent to another circle above it? I need to create a radius of 3.5 between the two points.

Yes the toolbars are unlocked and even when they are locked using the ctrl key still will not alow me to resize. This used to work but now for some reason will not anymore.
In the attached sample file if you edit the sketch in the first surface feature and change the dimension of 600 to 700, both the patch and loft features fail. It seems to be the curved edge that is the problem in both cases.
I cant see anything wrong with either way of modelling this so assume its a bug.This causes other problems in my real model with parts that reference these types of surfaces falling apart further down stream and is wasting heaps of $$$.
Just downloaded the GENIO and Civil View tools but the installation fails as no application found - is the installer faulty?

I don't understand why this Fillet would fail when it was fine before I changed the length of the edge. See before and after shots attached..
The geometry/features that are used to create the fillet are exactly the same.
My cuix file that I have created won't load automatically anymore.
