Snapping to Object failure

[LarryO]

I've noticed that in VW2022 one can have Wireframe background rendering active and Top view at the same time when setting viewports.

The problem that has occurred for me is the dimension tools will snap to objects under these settings, only to intersections and points.

It was a 60+ minute puzzle chasing this down, I only stumbled upon what I hope is the solution of changing the viewport View to Top/Plan.

Do you have all the correct snaps turned on? Also, the new snaps palette can make it easy to inadvertently turn snaps off altogether.

I tested it with everything on.

Only Snap to Object on with all snap settings active and

my normal Snap to Object with master snap points off, Snap to Angle, Snap to Intersection and Smart Points on.

The dimension tool only finds the points and not along the objects themselves.

I'll have to be watchful that Top View doesn't get set when Wireframe rendering. I think there must have been a setting before which actively took care of switching the view to Top/Plan when Wireframe was active.
