Trillian Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ok all, I've a hopefully easy one for you this time. In one file, when I try to make a line longer using the handles to another element, it won't lock to 90 degrees when I hold down shift and it disappears off to an angle. I'm drawing in top plan, unrotated. It happens to any new line I draw. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Kevin McAllister Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I doubt that's the problem because I never have the angle snap icon (circle with cross hairs and one diagonal) selected with my own setup. I always use the shift key. I'm willing to bet its because so many other snaps are selected and one is taking priority over the others. Try unselecting everything except object (the box with the centre point) and intersection (the two crossing lines). Kevin Quote Link to comment

Trillian Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Screen Plane vs Layer Plane? bc wins the prize! Thanks all for the help, I tried the others first but when I switched the line to screen plane the problem was solved. I'm guessing as a mostly 2D worker I should only use screen plane? I do use wall tool for generating elevations though but won't be making a switch to full BIM anytime soon. Quote Link to comment
