Snaps

[wnschoen]

Is it just me, or is anyone else having a devil of a time getting the object snaps to work in X15?  Ever since I upgraded, things don't seem to snap the same.  I've played with the defaults and the preferences (by the way, why in the world are angle snaps in a different location/menu than the other snaps)?

 

Anyway, anyone else having issues?  I put a ticket into Chief, but that tech said they could not repeat my issue.

 

Thanks,

Nate

Yes. I use point-to-point move a lot and at least half the time, when I grab an object at an end or corner, once I start moving the object, I notice that the cursor and snap point are not located the same. My cursor will be a slight distance away from my chosen snap point. This results in having to place the object somewhere and retry the P2P move. 
 

Also, 3D solids have multiple snap points on a corner, when viewed in 2D. The snap symbol (circle in square), will jump around when the cursor is hovered over the corner. Feels loosely gooses at times.

Yes, the point-to-point move issue has driven me nuts for quite a while. I've brought it up in the past but have just been told (can't remember if by chief or other users) "you're moving too fast!" Not a good answer, I sure would like that fixed as well.

Similar experience...not satisfied.

I would add that it seems to be an even bigger problem/inconsistent when I am using 3D Objects (like my footers and CMU Block that I draw in CAD and turn into 3D Solids).

 

Thanks.

I sent this issue to TS this week. The response:

I believe we may have a case of lost functionality here, and will be contacting our developer department to see if we can have it addressed.

That's good.  When I contacted Tech Support they 'couldn't replicate my issue'....  hopefully we can all get it fixed.  It's kind of a basic CAD thing and really needs to work.

Robert,

 

Can you update your video link?  It goes here in error (see attached)

I'll start videoing as I draw and catch when this happens to me.
