How to Change Crosshair Angle

lstarbird — Tue, 09 Aug 2016 17:36:01 GMT

We received a drawing from another consultant that opens with the crosshairs at an angle.

The typical fixes of SNAPANG = 0, UCS = WORLD, PLAN = CURRENT, VIEW = TOP, SNAPSTYL = 0, & AUDITing the file didn't fix it.

Any other thoughts, suggestions, tricks, magical ideas?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi @lstarbird, Is this happening in a viewport or the model? Can you attach the file so I can take a look at the issue?

In model space. Not on the layout tab unless I'm in an active viewport.

DWG attached. Thanks for taking peek!

ANGBASE [it's at 109 -- set it to 0].

Nice find! But that doesn't appear to adjust the crosshair angle even after a regen.

HI @lstarbird,

Kent1Cooper is certainly quick!

Once you set your ANGBASE to 0 then your SNAPANG can be set to 0 as well and things should look normal.

Ahhh...you're right! SNAPANG was the 2nd half of that fix!

Nice job, gents! Thanks a ton!

I am having the same problem and the suggested fix did not work for me.

Then it isn't the same problem. The same symptoms maybe but since this thread was marked as solved and the solution didn't work for you, you should start a new thread. Include screen shots to illustrate your issue.
