Object snaps to grid when editing its dimensions

[Biscontin]

Problem 1: I place 2 rectangles snapped together (corner to corner) and when I edit the dimensions of one of them it snaps automatically to the grid... which is turn off btw... and it goes off from the other rectangle.

REALLY annoying!!!

Is there a way to turn off completely the grid and its snapping...

I use VW2008

Snap grid is set to 1mm

Reference grid to 1mm

please help

Hi,

I'm having the same problems in VW 2009 and 2010 which is really bad!

When I export dwgs and open them in another software it looks everything is out of place, so I can only say the snap is rubbish and now my drawings are very inaccurate.

Is there anyone form nemetschek who can comment on this?

Cheers!

I haven't had this problem. If you could post a sample file and detailed instructions on how to recreate this we could troubleshoot it.

make sure turn on the snap to object constraint, turn off the snap to grid constraint. Now when you place dimensions, make sure you snap to the corners of your rectangles. You will get screen hits to tell you that you are that the top left or top right of each rectangle.

We have not seen this behavior as described. Perhaps you are not using the Box position control in the Object Info palette to set which point should move. If you submit a file with an example we will look at it.

I have had this exact problem om Vectorworks 2008 and been trying for weeks to solve them now.

Please advise on how to correct this, been trying every solution possible on this post and the community board and still can not solve the problem.

Thank you in advance.
