AutoCad :: Create A Block So That The Base Point Is The Only Snap Point On The Block?

Aug 22, 2013

is it possible to create a block so that the base point is the only snap point on the block?

In other words supose I have a block of a simple rectangle with the base point in the center.

If I try to snap to the block, I will be able to snap to all the corners, but not the base point. I know that i can put a point at the base point, but can I turn off the snap to the corners (just for the block) in other words, have an object that is unsnapable to without turning the snap mode off.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Water Drop - Point Outside Surface Error

Apr 22, 2013

C3D Version 2012

Surface does exist as we can see the triangles/contours or whatever we choose to display.  When we run the Water drop command, we are getting a message saying that the point is outside of the surface.  We have selected a valid surface by both picking it visually and selecting it from the dialogue.  All layers are on and thawed and we are picking well inside of the surface.

Why it would be telling us that the point is outside the surface?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Snap To Intersection Point

Jul 10, 2012

Form Autocad 2000 to 2012, there is always with this problem. It happens sometimes in object snap, it does not work to snap a intersection point (two crossed lines) when drawing a line or arc or others. For sure, these two lines are in the same plan and can be filleted or chamfered. So I turned on the Apparent intersection, it works with apparent intersection point, I am not sure if this apparent intersection will cause other problem. I am working on pure 2-D drawing, do not want to get any 3D objects inside the drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Snap To Tangent Point

Apr 4, 2012

Since switching over to Inventor 2012 I have been having trouble snapping to tangent points on a curve or circle to pull dimensions. I would do it manually but if the dimension is not referencing a specific point in the model it turns pink to identify an error.

Is there a setting that may be not allowing me to snap to tangent points?

AutoCad :: Snap Point Type Of Object?

Sep 7, 2011

Using AutoCAD from another drafting program and trying to determine if AutoCAD has a feature I have become used to. The program I am using is Vectorworks and they have these items called loci. They are basically just snap points that do not print and are not actually geometry. They are great though for aligning items and referencing points. Is there a similar item in autocad?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Save As To DWG Changes Snap Point Of Dim Line To CLs

Dec 9, 2011

I must not be the only one required to produce 2d dwg's for work.

I'm using INV 2009 and our vendor swears up and down in 2012 every thing is fixed, which somehow I doubt since they failed to fix the conversion from idw to dwg in the previous 12-13 releases.

Anyways, my problem today is that the dimiension lines I spent so much time making them meet our industry and company standards in my idw are all wrong in the dwg's I saved.

(please see attached).

Illustrator :: Does Not Snap To Point

Nov 7, 2013

I have two lines and I am wanting the end of one line's point to snap to the other line's end point. I've dragged the end point to exactly where the other one is but instead of correctly snapping to the end it sort snaps about 0.5px away from it - there's no way I can get it to snap correctly without it deciding to move away.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Using Break Switches Off Snap (Grid) For First Selected Point

Oct 6, 2011

I set a snap for ease of use, e.g. if my intended output scale is 1:50 I will set my snap to 25, this makes drawing lines fast and simple.

When I used the break command in previous versions (I skipped 2011) the break would keep the snap on so I could break either side of a line with a perfect unit gap.

In 2012 when I select the first point it disregards the snap and just puts the break wherever I select on the line meaning the gap is not neat. Is there anyway to put this back the way it was?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Draw Lines That Radiate Out From A Point On Different Bearings And Distances

Jan 18, 2013

I have a very frequent need to draw lines that radiate out from a point on different bearings and distances. I think of this as a sideshot.

                             _/_

                                |

Civil 3D’s sideshot command acts differently. It draws lines between the radial end points.

                               /

Do you know what command is needed to do what I want? It is not the Create Line by Side Shot command.

Illustrator :: Strokes Round To Nearest Whole Point - Shapes Snap To Undefined Grid

In Illustrator CS6, Strokes are automaticly rounding to the nearest whole point size, and shapes I place in a given location are snapping to a grid that I can't seem to find anywhere. All my snaps are turned off, as well as "allign to pixel grid", and I can't seem to find anything in preferences or the transform or object panes that would affect these things. How do I disable both things?
