simpson wilson Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Often when I import dxf from surveyors every point seems to have dashed cross-hairs that form a very attractive but un-erasable tartan which make the drawing unusable. Is there anything I can do or do I need to specify some particular procedure or protocol when the consultant exports? This also happens with product dxf downloads. Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Aren't they obnoxious? It's hard to imagine what the program designers were thinking when they put in those full-screen dotted crosshairs at locus points. Even more obnoxious is the way to turn them off. There's no way to find it by logical deduction -- you just have to stumble across it accidentally. You have to un-check "Snap to Loci" in VectorWorks Preferences. As far as I can tell, un-checking "Snap to Loci" doesn't have any effect on the ability to snap to loci (which is controlled by the "Snap to Object" constraint on the Constraints palette). The "Snap to Loci" preference should be renamed "Clutter up the screen with uneditable fuzzy lines". Quote Link to comment
