lineweight Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm in "Top/Plan View" on a Layer and it appears the "Snapping Acquisition" hints have gone missing. It is selected in my preferences, but I am no longer able to go to a corner of a 2D object, sit the cursor over it and have the little red snapping acquisition box appear. Has anyone experienced this? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 do you have snap to object turned on? Quote Link to comment
lineweight Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Snap to object was on, but the little "Smart Points" somehow got toggled to "off" even though I had the window closed. Is there a quick key command that I might have accidentally clicked that toggles this? That's the only thing I can think of as to how this happened. I mean, if the window isn't open, then I can't click on a setting to change it, so I don't see how else I could have accidentally turned it off. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 "Y" on the keyboard toggles the hints on and off. I find I sometimes hit it accidently when using "T" to force a red snapping acquisition box to appear. KM Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 By default all of the snaps have a one key shortcut. If you arrange the snaps palette as two columns wide, the default keys are ASDF down the left hand column and QWER down the right hand column. These can be changed in the Workspace Editor under the under the MISC. Keys tab. Quote Link to comment
lineweight Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Pat, Thanks for your reply. I think that was it -- I accidentally toggled the snaps via quick key. This had happened in a few other projects and I couldn't figure out what the Hell was happening. Thanks!!! Problem solved. Quote Link to comment
