Move/Copy Objects with Specified Distance Snaps to Midpoint

jarredmonday — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:33:29 GMT

This issue has appeared out of nowhere. If i have the osnap turned on and I move or copy an object and it is on another object, it will snap to the midpoint even though i am typing in the specific distance. if i turn off the osnap this will not happen. What setting am I not aware of that is making this happen? I don't remember it being like this before. Thank you.

See video for reference.

Objective: Copy circle 48" up the green line.

ObjectSnap Settings: ON

Technique: Copy circle then specify distance.

Result: Circle will snap to the midpoint of the Line.

Try OSNAPCOORD

Should be set to 2 to keep snaps from overriding keyboard entries.

Yes, indeed it should be. My machine was set to zero. I don't know what caused that. Thank you for the reply.
