markdd Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I can not get VW2018 to see the internal origin as a smart point. Is anybody else seeing this? Quote Link to comment
0 Art V Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I noticed in 2017 that after moving a page and it was no longer possible to use the internal origin as a smart point, regardless of the user origin being the same as the internal origin or not. In other words, what you may perceive as snapping to the internal origin may actually have been the page center. Unless missed something in 2017. Did you perhaps move your page? 1 Quote Link to comment
0 markdd Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 No, it was a new file. I don’t often vere from the internal origin if I can help it. Quote Link to comment
0 Art V Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) That sounds like the smart point doesn't use the page center for some reason, because when I move the page it does not use 0,0 of the user origin nor the internal origin as a smart point in VW2017. Like you I don't vere from the original origin if possible and also leave the page center at the internal origin, but it is useful to be able to snap to 0,0 aka page center with smart points when setting out some reference items. So this would be a bit of an issue, though it can be solved in my case by e.g. placing a circle with its center at 0,0 to serve as a reference for smart points.

0 Kevin McAllister Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm seeing this too. I often acquire smart points using the T key but the internal origin won't acquire. It doesn't seem to be working in VW2017 SP4 either. Kevin Quote Link to comment

0 Art V Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Out of curiousity, did you have the show internal origin marker option checked in the VW preferences>Edit tab? I just noticed it when setting the VW2018 options and when turned on (was turned off in my VW2017) so far all snaps/smartpoints do seem to work as long as there is no other object with a snap point on top of it. If the latter is the case then it will show the snap point of the object instead of internal origin as it is the topmost overlapping snap point. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think it works (unfortunately) in Top Plan only. I snapped there today all the time. Quote Link to comment

The issue isn't snapping to the origin. That works. You can't acquire it as a smart point - the little red box that appears when you hover over a point or tap the T key, depending on your preferences. Kevin Quote Link to comment

The smart points worked for me for acquiring the internal origin as long as there is no other snapping point right on top of it , at least in top plan mode as Zoomer mentioned. In 3D view the internal origin marker does not show. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ah, ok. I don't get a smart point either. (SP1 - last chance for VW) Quote Link to comment
