Snapping problem

[Horst M.]

Hallo,

I'm sometimes fighting with a very Basic Snapping inconvenience which hopefully has an easy solution, that I just don't see.

If I have Class lets say "Symbolclass", and place some Symbols there, that have the Elements on a other Class "Obejts-in-Symbol_Class",

These Symbols can't be selected to be moved on an other Point than the "insertion Point" if I have the Class Options set to "Show/Snap others" and Have the "Symbolclass" acitvated, the Snap Points of the Objects inside the Symbol are still detected and shown, but can't be used for selecting.

This is not very helpfull, If you have to select an Symbol (that sits on top of other Objects in other Classes) to move it to specific point.

The only way then is, to set the Class Options to "Show/Snap/Modify others" which leads to wrong selctions...

I hope the explanation is not written too complicated, and somebody has a smart solution....

Dunno, Horst - I see the same limitation.

Show/Snap/Modify is not so troublesome for me. If points are too dense, I often group a sub-set of objects, enter the group (disable Show Other Objects in Edit Modes), make the snaps, moves, etc. Exit the group and ungroup.

Totally old school.
