AutoCad :: Create A Block So That The Base Point Is The Only Snap Point On The Block?
Aug 22, 2013is 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 :: Dynamic Block Midpoint Snap?
Nov 7, 2011I'm new to working with dynamic blocks, using AutoCAD 2007. I have a base cabinet elevation block and want to have it so that when I change the height the door swing line stays at the midpoint of the door.

Jan 4, 2012I no longer seem to be able to snap to the nodes of block attributes.
My osnap settings are set to snap to nodes. I wonder whether it's a variable that on my previous version of AutoCAD was set to one thing and the new version defaults to another.
AutoCAD Architecture :: Tag A Multi-view Block?
Feb 3, 2011is it possible to tag a multi-view block?
i.e. I have a outlet recept thats a MVB. I have it linked to the space with has the circuit number for the electrical panel. Is it possible to tag a MVB similar to tagging a window?
spaceobjects property set:
spaceobjects:circ_number (manual property set)
also has a location set
recept property set (connected to the MVB of the receptacle):
formula pulls the circ number from the spaceobjects
AutoCad 2D :: Multi Leader With Annotative Block
Jun 9, 2011Is it true that you can't attach an Annotative Block to a MultiLeader?This is the message that I got when trying: "Specify leader arrowhead location or [leader Landing first/Content
first/Options] <Options>: OP
Enter an option [Leader type/leader lAnding/Content type/Maxpoints/First
angle/Second angle/eXit options] <eXit options>: C
Select a content type [Block/Mtext/None] <Block>:
Enter block name <DOORTAG>: LEGENDNOTE
Invalid Input."
It's unfortunate because I would like the block to show up Annotative in my Legend, and then again to the proper scale with the Multi Leader
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Multi Leader Block Colors
Dec 31, 2012I have a road construction ahead sign where I have hatched the background orange (color 30) as a mask since I am using an air photo for the drawing background. The block is fine until I try to use it in a multi leader, then the hatch color switches to block and I can't read the text. The block was created on the same layer as it is inserted. How do I get the orange hatch to show as orange in the multi leader block? See the attached screen shot.

Oct 1, 2013I have a multileader with attributed labels in a block, see included png file. The attributes are indicated by the rectangled text. As you can see the block looks fine, but the leader attaches itself to the insertion point of the block. I want the leader to justify automatically left or right, depending on the drag position of the block. One thing I noticed is that if the block contains an odd number of text lines the leader will automatically self justify. An even number of text line produces what I have here.

Dec 27, 2011I have been working on an AutoLISP routine which is intended to:
1) collect input from the user via a DCl dialog box
a) Create a List of the non-null "GROUP_CODE..." variable values collected from the dialog's settings
b) Create a List of the "ESN***#_Part" variable values collected from the dialog's settings (does the List elements' order need to be reversed after collecting them?)
2) Prompt the user to select an insertion point
3) Insert a Block named "ESN-CONTROL-WIRED" which has multiple attributes
a) Apply the first List element collected at step 1.a above to the attribute tag "INPUT_ADD" in the block
b) Apply the first List element collected at step 1.b above to the Attribute Tag "PART_NUMBER" in the block
4) Insert a second instance of the Block named "ESN-CONTROL-WIRED" below the first instance
a) Apply the second List element collected at step 1.a above to the attribute tag "INPUT_ADD" in the block
b) Apply the second List element collected at step 1.b above to the Attribute Tag "PART_NUMBER" in the block etc. .... keep inserting the block "ESN-CONTROL-WIRED" below the previous on until all the input from the dialog has been displayed in the attributes.
Notes:
The Dialog's pop-up lists are populated from external .TXT files which reside on our network (or alternate local C: drive folder if no network drive is found)
Inside the file "ESN_SENSORS_NUMBER.LSP", it is the function "ESN_APPLY_TAG" which I am struggling with how to write...

AutoCad :: Turn Snap Mode Off Globally (Snap Not Osnap)
Nov 8, 2011We recently had a draftsman that drew with snap on (he no longer works here), and now all the drawings he worked on have this setting turned on. I thought it would be as simple as opening up the drawings and either hitting F9 or clicking on the toggle to turn off snap. That doesn't seem to be the case. Snap mode seems to be tied to individual sheets, and every viewport. I have multiple sheets in a drawing and each sheet has multiple viewports. The last thing I want to do is open every drawing, click in every viewport on every sheet to turn off snap.
I have snapmode set to 0, but it will only turn it of in whatever sheet or viewport is active. I have to write a lisp routine that will go through every viewport on every sheet to set snapmode to 0?

Nov 30, 2012Snap commands in X6? I can not get the snap to grid to turn off. The button is off and the setting is set to off in options. Objects seem to snap all over not just to the grid. And the grid snap seems to be out of alignment-I cant seem to get objects to snap exactly to the grid.
The same files reopened in X5 are fine. This started with yesterdays install of 6.2. leaving X2 completely unusable.
3ds Max :: How To Snap One Object To Other With Vertex Snap
Apr 18, 2011I'm trying to snap one object to the other with vert snap.
It's trying to snap from the center of my object rather then the vert I am hovering over. In the Snap settings I have only "vertex" checked so it should snap to whatever vertex I hover over but no...This keeps up I'm going back to 2008 when all this worked fine.
Photoshop :: Why Do Paths Snap To Pixel Grid Although (snap Vector Tools To Pixel Grid) Is Off
Aug 8, 2012When I drag around vector points of paths they are not constrained to the pixel grid, when the option "Snap Vector Tools and Transform to Pixel Grid" is off. This is the behavior I expect.BUT: When I drag whole paths, they snap to the pixel grid, no matter what. I even have snapping completely disabled.
This is particularly annoying when eg. creating a path for a zipper. I first make a path for the inside of the jacket or whatever, then I make one notch for the zipper and copy it over and over again for all the notches. It's very troubling when these elements snap to the pixel grid, because it's very unprecise then.
AutoCAD LT :: Snap Not Accurate Enough
Feb 2, 2012I've been drawing with Autocad for many years now, I've just upgraded to LT2012.
My problem is with the object snaps. They don't seem accurate enough. For e.g. I'll use end point to snap to a line or a corner and it will seem to work, but when I zoom in the object or the lines are not one on top of each other as they should be.
I'm doing drawings right now and the problem is just compounding as I continue. Nothing is perpendicular or parallel as they should be.
AutoCAD .NET :: Snap On PDF Underlay

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Weird Snap To Zero
May 15, 2011From time to time, when either moving text with a grip, or placing a dimension, or drawing a line or whatever, AutoCAD just randomly decides to snap to zero, zero. I might be miles away from zero, zero, but it still snap me there. The only way I can get around it is to turn my OSNAP off, do what I have to do and then turn it back on again. REALLY annoying. I'm using ACAD 2008, but I remember having this problem on earlier releases too.

Apr 26, 2012I have moved a mesh off to the side while I work on the 3d solid substructure the mesh covers.

AutoCAD LT :: Toggle Snap To Xref
Jan 26, 2013Is there a way to toggle snapping to a layer or xref?
When using object snap and you are drawing with a busy survey xref in the background, the mouse cursor really hunts around a lot on the contour lines and stuff instead of on what I am drawing. But, I would like to see the contour lines as I go, rather than hide the layer.
AutoCAD LT :: Automatically Snap ALL Objects
Jun 3, 2013I've inherited a dozen heavily detailed drawings only they have been drawn freehand and do not conform to any snap mode or grid. Unfortunately the objects are not all out by a certain amount, so to adjust the entire drawing to conform to the nearest snap point I need to pretty much go through every single object and snap it to the nearest point, which will take weeks.
I've googled around a bit and have found a lisp that may potentially work however I'm running 2004 LT so therefore can't test this lisp until I find someone with a full version.
I'm sure I can find someone with a full copy of Autocad even if it means borrowing their computer just to re-align the objects. I've yet to test out the lisp I found [URL] .... although this lisp seems to suggest it will work with text objects, unfortunately my drawings include a range of objects including text, rectangles, plines etc.
I've taken a look at DotSoft's 'ToolPac' and will buy it if needed as it will apparently align all objects to the nearest snap, but I thought I'd check to see if there was any other easier/cheaper ways of doing it first.
AutoCAD LT :: Snap To Leader Lines?

AutoCAD LT :: Object Snap Enforcement

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Snap To Anywhere On Line?
Aug 19, 2013I need to snap to guide lines but the only snap I can get is to the endpoint, which results in some very diagonal lines. I actually have ortho turned on because I need only 90 degree angles. Sometimes I need to move an entire line and I would like it perfectly lined up to the guideline. The line being moved is part of a polyline.
I sometimes do need to start or end at an endpoint but how do I do that then also snap to just anywhere on the guideline while maintinaing a 90 degree angle?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Grips Won't Stretch / Snap
Sep 12, 2012Simple problem: When I select a line, normally three grips appear; the ends and the middle. Normally, when I want to stretch (resize) a line I click one end and simply drag it to the desired location. Often it *snaps* to another nearby grip point, the middle selected grip, a line that it crosses, etc. If I zoom in I normally can put the grip any where I want to. It has worked fine up until this morning. Last night when I closed the program it worked perfectly...first thing this morning it doesn't work at all. Restarting the program and the computer had no effect.
The grip will only snap to the other origin (making it zero length) and other random points nearby. I cannot make it a random length...it must snap to those other points, and it *will not* snap to the middle point of the line, which I do all of the time.
Did I accidentally hit a CTRL+ or ALT+ key-stroke which has changed the abilities to snap?
