buz Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have a drawing with a handful of viewports in a handful of sheets. For one of the viewports I am unable to snap to anything. I double click the VP and select annotation mode, then none of the 2D tools will snap to any part of the drawing. I'm wanting to dimension in the VP. The referenced layer is at 1/8" scale and the viewport is at 3/8" scale, but my understanding is that this shouldn't make a difference. There is only one layer being referenced by the VP. The VP is a detail of a floor plan drawing. Thank you Quote Link to comment
buz Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 I have discovered the problem. It still leaves a question, but - oh well. The Constraints palette was put away and 'some how' snap to grid and snap to object were off. So no problem dimensioning now. The question remains how this may have occurred when the palette was put away? I could not have inadvertently switched them off. Guess I may never know. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You may have accidentally hit the keyboard shortcut to turn off snap to grid. I personally remove the keyboard shortcuts to the constraints tools to avoid this very scenario. Quote Link to comment
buz Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 This was one of my thoughts. I'll discover those kb shortcuts and follow your lead, sounds reasonable. Thank you Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 the shortcuts are: a = snap to grid q = snap to object Quote Link to comment
buz Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thank you both. I see in the Work Space editor under the 'misc keys' tab where constraint keys are ID'd. Deleting those key commands would eliminate the problem, I'm wondering though about down the road if I wanted them back on .... beyond a stashed note or relying on memory .... any suggestions on reseting these particular defaults?
