osnap problem

rataylor — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 19:24:40 GMT

I must put my cursor so close to the objest before the magnet and list of the feature comes on. for example i have to put the cursor exactly on the QUADRANT or the ENDPOINT, or any other snap before it recognizes it. especially troublesome with CENTER of circles. Also, this is my opportunity to express a request to bring back the dialog box for the ARRAY command. Versions after 2010 must use the command line and as such doesn't remember the centerpoint of previous array,etc. Thanks, Rick.

Try adjusting the aperture variable.

The old dialog box version of array is still available. The command is now called ARRAYCLASSIC.

"The old dialog box version of array..."

I was still using -array to avoid dialogue box

no, most often it was easier to do from command line, but not a command i use frequently.

its now 3rd generation array, it now creates a dynamic entity called "array"

Sorry for the delayed Kudos. It worked. The adjustment was slid al the way to the left. I put it on the midpoint and now it will snap to from farther away. Thanks again. Later, Rick.https://www.youtube.com/user/popnstart/videos
