Osnaps not working on wall components

Just out of the blue my osnaps will not work on my wall components within a particular drawing (Arch09). The only one that seems to work is along the baseline of the wall. I have had this problem before and the easy way to reslove it was to copy the geometry into a new file. However with this drawing, I will lose all of my layouts and configurations. Any ideas?

The first thing to check is whether you have the "Allow general object snap settings to act upon wall justification line" toggle checked. (See image, from ACA 2010 - 2009 should have something similar.) When this is checked, object snaps will only work on the justification line of a Wall. Uncheck it to be able to snap to other geometry.

Yes, it is checked. Not sure if it matters but object snap optimize for speed setting is also unchecked. There must be a setting somewhere that i have missed or the drawing is corrupted.

are you referring to plan view or iso/model view?

I might have misunderstood, but I thought David's intention was to make
sure it is *not* checked?

Check layer 0 is not Frozen/Locked/Off.... it usually does the trick!

A complicated problem is always solved by a simple solution. Thanks Eddy, that did the trick. Now i feel like a fool for not looking at that first.

ok so two more are confirming the bug!
btw it's connected to the layer your material is set on.
change your material layer setting to the object layer (so it doesn;t turn
off) and it won't be a problem.
I don't think this is an acceptable work around at all.

I was having the same problem in one drawing but not another....layer zero was turned off.  Turning it on fixed the osnaps to walls/windows/doors. (phew!)
