Zhin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Dear all, Is there any reason at all why show/snap/modify others will not work? I could use that option earlier in the file but now it does not allow me (now) to snap/modify other design layers.(I can see other layers but cannot snap or modify other than the active layer). The scales of these two design layers are the same. I do not have the grid constraints set to 'on'. This happens to be a recurring problem. Prior to this, the only way I could solve it was to copy the entire file and paste it into a new one. I can't be doing this all the time, so I figured I should ask from some experts what (really) am I missing here? Regards, Zhin. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 You can only snap to something if the Layer Options are set to Show/Snap Others, Class Options are set to Show/Snap Others, the scale of the layers are the same and the layers are in the same view. Make sure that all the layers are in Top/Plan. You might want to check out the Align Layer Views command to switch everything to match the current layer. Pat Quote Link to comment
Drake Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I am sure that this is not the case, but the keyboard shortcuts for some of the class and layer options have changed (since show/snap grey layers was added). Quote Link to comment
md Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I was also having this problem. Couldn't select or snap to objects on another layer even though layer and class options were set to show/snap/modify others and the current view was "top/plan" with layer views aligned. The problem was layers set to different scales. Set all layers to the same scale, and use viewports to get the scale you need for printing. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Also, in Design Layers you can't have Stack Layers on if you want to Show/Snap/Modify Others... Quote Link to comment
Graham T Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I had this problem too, unticked 'Unified View' under the view tab.....Bingo! Quote Link to comment
