2019.1.2: osnap don't pick exactly where I want

pproestos — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 10:53:24 GMT

I have installed Autocad 2019 with the latest update 1.2.

I create some polylines and then with only endpoint snap I try

to pick the end of a line and draw a new line.

If I do this a little quicker, it picks a little further from where I want.

Why this?

Should I reistall everything?

Please a little help.

thx.

Hi,

by any chance, do you have "Object Snap Tracking" (<F11>) active on your object snap settings?

If yes please disable it and try the object snap behavior again.

Still?

Which coordinate position is your endpoint?

LUPREC 8

command: ID

Tried it.

Endpoint position X = 8.18756603E+05 Y = 2.30698288E+06 Z = 0.00000000

If I try quickly/repeatedly 10 times to pick the end point

of a line, 9 times it pick it up precisely and 1 time

it picks a little further...

The gap is very small, but at plan=wcs, position WCS 8,2 that should not happen.

Delete all, except ONE line. Create a new (red) one with end-snap and share this dwg with us.

Hi,

I am not sure , But try ''Flatten'' command . Enter command and select all line and enter, then try to pick

No it isn't flatten.

Here is the dwg.

I try to pick the end of the red line and draw the

green line.

If I do this very quickly about ten times.

There is one time that picks where you see the green line...

The apperture setting should help:

"If I do this very quickly about ten times. There is one time that picks where you see the green line..."

I would say this time the object snap was not used and the starting point corresponds to your cursor position.
If I make sure the object snap is used (I see the symbol of the object snap END) then it has delivered the correct result with now 50x.

Increase apperture or work more precisely with the mouse, I can not think of more.
And if you create architecture, then you better work closer to zero (in general).

Sorry.

Οk first of all thanks everybody for the support, because

in this situation I needed to hear various opinions from experts, before

attempting reinstalling everything, wich I did and now everything works well.

Apologize for the confusion, but I think I got crazy my Autocad... 🙂

I forgot to say that in the Help->About it was written "Autocad 2017" !!!!!!

I think that instead to transfer my previous workspace with cui command,

I copied my old .cuix file and overwrite Autocad 2019's one and Autocad

began to have strange behavior.

I think that maybe it was this the cause....

I don't know exactly, this what I suppose.

Anyway now after a clean reinstallation, now it works normally.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

Petros.

Hi,

Definitely not a good idea, but thank you for reporting this as this can be an important information for future readers too!

pproestos — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 17:28:41 GMT

going back to my problem...still the same 🙂 🙂

Maybe my file is corrupted, maybe my Autocad is corrupted or my Windows....

Anyway I roll back to Autocad 2018 and see if there,

I have the same problem...

Hi,

so you had the problem solved and it now reappeared?

Have you logged out in the meantime or did your workstation go to sleep-mode?

Are you having any tools like registry cleaners running automatically?

Alfred thx for answer me. I appreciate that.

I have installed 2018 to see if that happens also there.

I am going to do some tests and be back.

Maybe I pick too quickly the end point and loose

precision as cadffm said...

But that's strange because I have 28 years of using Autocad!...

pproestos — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 18:49:06 GMT

Ok @Alfred.NESWADBA and @cadffm

I figured out what is this.

It's not an osnap problem, but a "graphics" problem.

I join two different polylines and I attach three images.

with three levels of zooming.

As you see my ucs icon appears very strange and also

the polylines appear apart, like I didn't join them into one line.

Can you tell me if this is problem of my graphics card?

Same happen to Autocad 2018...

More zoom:

and more zoom again: (ucs icon dissapear!!!!!!)

cadffm — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 19:07:58 GMT

It's right and "normal", not a problem with you graphic card.

It is (only) a bit dependet of your graphic settings.

Hi,

>> As you see my ucs icon appears very strange

This only happens when you have an active hardware acceleration, I guess. Am I correct that when disabling hw-acc (command _GRAPHICSCONFIG) the UCS icon looks normal?

yes... well never mind...

I got back to 2018 for the moment and

I will do some tests to see if have a real osnap problem or

this is my impression...

cheers from Athens.
