How do I prevent files/photos from "snapping" together when I have multipul items open in photoshop CS6 at the same time and drag one close to another one. I work with a very messy screen and I like it that way. I HATE it when the 'snap' together.
View 2 RepliesAfter some time while working on a file (any file, happened multiple times), max starts snapping from pivots instead of vertices(or whatever else I might want). Only vertex snaps are on, everything else is off. I have axis constraints on, but when I try to drag something, they turn off while I'm dragging and the pivot snap turns on, when I release the object, the axis constraints turn back on. And the vertex snap tick is nowhere to be seen. The only solution I found so far is to save the file, quit max, and start again (resetting max does not work).

If I put an outer stroke around an image, the guides won't snap to the edges of the stroke. Instead, the guides will snap to the edge of the image. How can I get the guides to snap to the edges of the stroke?

View 6 Replies View Relatedi open an image to photoshop cs5 and it opens as a background layer, right?now i drag n drop from windows exporer the same image over the cs5 on top opening as a new layer.It shows up an X over the image where you can reposition the second image (layer) over the first.
i don't want to reposition, its the same image, i want the pixels of the second layer to match EXACTLY the first layer.i press the TICK button or ENTER where the new layer gets the images name BUT when i zoom in 1600% or 3200% and move to the edge i see the edges of the new layer not positioned exactly over the 1st layer.
it positions the new layer 1 or 2 pixels to the right and some times 1 or 2 pixels to the bottom. it doesn't snap the edge.know i can fix it afterwards by align the layers from the layer -> align menu but its annoying, even creating an action..
is there a setting in the prefrences which i'm missing? is it a bug? if so, can this be fixed in CS6?
When I move a canvas around the screen, if I take it too near the top it will snap to the top of the screen and take up the whole page with just this one canvas. How do I stop it from doing this? I guess its in options somewhere but as I dont know what its called I dont know what to search for? Also how do I stop one canvas snapping into another/tabbing into another when moving them around?

I have supposedly disabled all the "snap" features in Photoshop, however, whenever I try to make minute transforms with the skew tool it always "snaps" (often closing a huge gap) to either it's previous vector, or one of the other points.
How do I stop this before I hit my head on the desk repeatedly in frustration?
Ctrl, etc., like with the move tool, does nothing differently.
I wanna use to shapee tool or whatever- ractangle tool- Generally said I need to create some shape. But at photoshop is everything snap my new shape to pixels. Like in the backroground is some invisible pixel grids and everything is snaping to whole pixels. I dont want this. I Want to use whole space without automatic pixels adapting to my shapes. I want to be independent in creating my shapes without snaping to pixels grid.
And also want to ask you. If you would like create new guide lines it is non dependable on pixel grid. But after it when I want to snap my nex objects to it- it not possible. And when I tick in preferences/ general: ,,snap vector tool to pixel grid" everything become dependable to pixels and everything is snapping to pixels. I don t wanna this…
1st Bug:Iam using a HP Z6100PS 60in plotter and when Iam using page setup to print something, it keeps using the default print size... For exemple :
Printer default print size : 24x60
I want to print a 80x60 but Photoshop send a 24x60 to the printer... even if I entered 80x60... And the bug is for any sizes...
2nd bug:My Windows 7 64bits Taskbar is at the top of my screen. All the documents iam opening in Photoshop are snapping to the top of the screen... super annoying. But when I place the Win Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, no more bug...
How do I snap (objects or, especially, guidelines) to the outer edge of an outline? The guideline always snaps to the edge of the object, if the outline is behind, or within the outline if it's in front of the object.
I usually employ workarounds such as converting the outline to an object but that's not always convenient.
I'm making a model of a building over a AutoCAD plan and I’m having problems with snapping and aligning. After I import polylines from AutoCAD, the accuracy becomes a problem, I can’t align or snap anything accurately (as seen on the attached picture). It keeps snapping in midd-air and not in the endpoint/midpoint, align doesn’t work either (the boxes in the picture are all aligned, x-max and y-min). I should mention that the same (similar) problem accrues in AutoCAD and after purging and repairing the dwg and starting over in max, it got better, but is still there.

I created this script to snap a three-bone IK chain to a three-bone FK chain. It works by first creating a line between the first and last bones in the IK chain, then it positions two point helpers (call them pointA and pointB) on the pivots of the second bone in the IK and FK chain.
Using the nearestPathParam function we can find a value (between 0 and 1) such that pointA and pointB lie on the normal plane to the straight line and then use the pathInterp function to translate the parameter into a position vector which we can use to position another helper (call it pointC) to then calculate the angle between (pointA - pointC) and (pointB - pointC). Sometimes the angle is calculated incorrectly, which is why I put an if-statement in towards the end to deal with this case; simply put a negative sign infront of the swivel angle.
(
local arrayIK = #($Bone_IK01, $Bone_IK02, $Bone_IK03),
arrayFK = #($Bone_FK01, $Bone_FK02, $Bone_FK03),
IKGoal = $'IK Chain001'
function snapIKFK IKarray FKarray =
(
IKGoal.transform.controller.swivelAngle = 0
[code].....
I'm not a good scripter, so the script looks a little clunky. I'm also having the problem that the script doesn't work when I try to activate it through a button press, it says "--Type error: Call needs function or class, got:
ButtonControl:snapIKFK".
It seems there is no way to stop illustrator (CS5) from snapping to the edge of the artboard. Even if you hide the artboard, it still snaps to the invisible artboard.
is it possible that the brilliant folks at adobe missed this one and there is no way to disable this snapping to the artboard?
I'm having an issue with CS6 where my objects don't want to snap together. I have snap to point checked but it still won't work. Also when I hover over point or intersections it doesn't say "intersections" or "center" or etc beside my mouse.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to snap to the end of the linework that form the visual end or intersection of walls while grip dragging a wall of one style to another. For example, using a wallstyle as a countertop, I'd be able to drag it to the corner of a room and use object snap to the intersection. In ACA 2012, the object snap defaults to the justification plane of the wall even if that's not where the intersection snap is desired.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to trace part of my point cloud, which has been aligned according to a new UCS I set. Drawing on the top down view, a poly line works fine out in the black ether or the model space, however when I attempt to trace over the point cloud it shoots way off in the distance.
My node snapping is turned off of course, but this only happens when I click over a part of the point cloud, as if it was snapping to the cloud and getting confused.
When I turn snapping off completely I can click anywhere I want and I'm fine. This suggests to me that it is a snapping issue, although I was under the assumption that "Node" was the only snap setting that related to point clouds.
I'm working out some bugs that have cropped up now that I've upgraded to 2011. For starters, I can't seem to be able to snap to existing dimension lines like I used to, even though I have almost all of my snap types activated.

when using grids to draw, is there a way to get xara to snap to only points? lol i know i suck at art haha! but i think im getting just a tad bit better. no really today i drew a head and the other day i drew a car. at least i figured out how to draw on an isometric grid. i was using serif draw plus and i noticed that x4 has a psuedo 3d (which basically uses an isometric grid with snapping to angle. i know how the concept works now but im having some trouble snapping to the points. sure i could draw a flat car or a flat person but id rather keep at it till i understand depth. my current goal is to learn to draw depth through using an isometric grid.
