View 9 RepliesSetting that will turn on snap all of the time instead of just when a command is active. You can't even tell that snap is on unless certain commands are active. The cursors doesn't snap on the BREAK command thus I can't use a two point break with any accuracy because the cursor doesn't snap until after the object is selected.
I need snap ALL THE TIME not just when certain commands are active.
We 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?
Snap 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.
I would like to turn off all the existing layers in active document. I have found in developer's guide how to turn off one layer with specified layer name but can not apply it on all layers with any layername.
I tried to get all the Object ID's in layer table and then for each object turn layer off but seems that it does not work.
<CommandMethod("FilterLayers")> _Public Sub FilterLayers()'' Get the current document and databaseDim acDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocumentDim acCurDb As Database = acDoc.Database'' Start a transactionUsing acTrans As Transaction = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()'' Open the Layer table for readDim LayerTable As LayerTable = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)Dim LayerTableRecord As LayerTableRecord = acTrans.GetObject(LayerTable.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)For Each ObjectId In LayerTableLayerTableRecord.IsOff = TrueNext'' Save the changes and dispose of the transactionacTrans.Commit()End UsingEnd Sub
I was wondering if it's possible to turn snap off on a set of layers whilst keeping it on for others?

I am using PointMonitor to display information based on the position of cursor, but the point is always in z=0 plane.
I think it's quite a lot of useless work to always select objects before or during a command, if you manipulate the same set of objects over a longer period of time. Say, as an architect I have a floor plan with a table and chairs. Now I want to copy, translate, rotate and scale the table with the chairs until they fit my floor plan. So I have to select the furniture, copy it, select it again, move it, select it again, rotate it, select it again and then scale it. Of course, there is the "previous" option, but is there a way of keeping a selection set active after the command so you just can go on to the next command without re-selecting the whole thing? My favoured workflow would be: Select the objects, copy them, move them, rotate them, then scale them. The objects should be active all the time and deactivated with ESC after the manipulation.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI often draw over topography lines and use them for reference but I don't want to snap to them. Is there any way to view an object and turn off snapping only for that specific object or layer? For instance, can you make frozen layers visible somehow so they can be viewed, but not snapped to? Or is there another way to accomplish this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI create a drawing of an iPart, while doing so I have the iPart model open in the background. When placing a view on the drawing the active factory member is the default option, I have a bad memory so forget to tell Inventor that actually I would like to use a specific iPart member in this particular drawing view. I then spend a long time laying out and dimensioning the drawing. When complete, I create a second sheet and copy all information from sheet 1 onto sheet 2. I then double click on the main drawing view and change the model state to an alternative factory member. At this point I realise that the drawing on sheet one is based on the active factory member and start swearing.
The result of changing to a different member when the existing drawing is based on the active member is that ALL DIMENSIONS DISSAPEAR FROM THE DRAWING AND HAVE TO BE PAINSTAKINGLY REPLACED. At this point I will usually REDRAW SHEET 1 so that further sheets can be created quickly in the future by selecting an alternative factory member.
can I change the software defaults somewhere in the setup to prevent the 'active factory member' being displayed as an option in the first place?
I am really messing my model,.. am using 3ds max 2010,. my problem is when i render my animation in active time segment my first frame seems ok,. but as its goes on the lights looks fading or turning it off as it goes by i already check the "compute advance lighting when required" and nothings change,.. let me attach some pics.
the first pics is frame 0000, the second pics is 39th frame,.. if you take a look on white materials they turned grey,.. and in frame 200 the lights are really out i cant show them any more cause i deleted them and when i render in range (i.e.) i start in 40th frame the lights or materials came perfect but again if goes by the result fading let me attach the 40th frame using "range".
I've got the very basics down on autocad 2012 but was just wondering if you can use the polar command while using snap from, like for example if i want to draw a circle 180mm from another point at 45deg (@180<45)
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there away to turn off "Snap to Grid"? You find it under View - Perspective Grid - Snap to Grid. I can turn it off by clicking on it to turn off but it won't stay turned off. I tired to go into my preferences to see if you can keep it off in your setting but I do not see it. A lot of discussion boards talk about in the Transform window "Align new objects to pixel grid" and that is turned off.

You will see a preview of the file & later In about a 1 second delay (keep the mouse still) the preview expands a date/time info.
Where switch/checkbox is to turn off/on this date/time info?

Not sure if this is expected behavior but I've found that it's only possible to snap to one type of guide/grid at any given time.
For example if you want to snap to a guideline in the horizontal and the pixel grid in the vertical, you won't be able to. Instead, the snap will work on the guide and completely ignore the pixel grid.
