P Retondo Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Is there a way to disable the "object" snap without disabling snap to corners and other particular object points? I'm getting a lot of inaccuracy using 9.5 when I intend to snap to a corner but inadvertantly snap to some random "object" point. Can this mode be customized (VW 8.5.3, VW 9.5.2, VW 10.0.1)?

P Retondo Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Katie, I always work with snap to grid off. The program still snaps to "object" at just about any point on any entity. This is true with several snap modes: object, intersect, etc. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I see. You want to get things like center, corner, top, etc. But you do not want to get "object". You can't have it both ways in VW. One thing you can do is to turn off smart cursor cues. This is good and bad. It's bad because you do not see the word of the cue. It's good because you won't get "object" and the cursor will change to an arrow with a small dot next to it when you are at corner, center, top, etc. Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 P Retondo, Do you have Snap-to-Surface on at the same time? I have noticed inadvertent snapping, but only when I had multiple constraints on at the same time. If it happens when you only have the Snap-to-Object constraint selected, then you do have a problem.

P Retondo Posted December 6, 2002 Author Share Posted December 6, 2002 Katie, Yess!! that is what I was getting at. Sorry that I can't have what I want! I'll put this on the wish list, since it seems the code to exclude "Object" already exists, it just doesn't operate when smart cursor cues are on. My current work-around, which has alleviated the problem somewhat, is to increase the snap radius. [ 12-05-2002, 09:32 PM: Message edited by: P Retondo ] Quote Link to comment
