Does anyone have the same problem and/or know how to resolve it? Thank you!

Are you referring to the center point of a Circle?

@paullimapa Circle, polygon, any geometrical shapes.. also when I use the polyline tool to draw a rectangle, once I finish my first two lines, my third line wouldn't look for the start of my first line as a reference... I don't know what is happening but apparently the reference points are not functioning properly or could it be turned on/off??

I hope you understand what I'm referring to. I just started learning this week. Still a newbie so not so good at describing tools and functions. Many thanks!

Are you referring to object snaps?

@paullimapa You can see here - the end of the thrid line is not looking for the start of the first line (top horizontal line) on the horizontal axis

Hi,

"wouldn't look for the start of my first line as a reference"

You can do it by

Turn on your PERpendicular snap or your otrack [F11]

hover your cursor on the 1st poly point, wait for the green +, drag down your cursor..

I turned it off and on again and the green dot does appear! But once I finished the modification I had to turn it off and on again for the green dot to appear again. Strange.
