Dimension/ OSNAP Settings

desjacobs — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 13:31:13 GMT

I am unable to select the 'midpoint' of the Dimensions with the current settings in AutoCAD 2024, this has never occurred before. All other items/ objects have ability of 'midpoints' being selected. Any solutions or ideas please?

Greetings @desjacobs

Midpoint of dimensions? Show us what you mean, even if you have to fudge it please.

You can Osnap to lots of MIDpoints in Dimensions:

If you mean the point midway between the Dimension's definition points, use M2P/MTP Osnap between the NODe Osnaps on the definition points. Type in the M2P or MTP, or Ctrl+right-click or Shift+right-click and pick it:

It would appear that none of the OSNAP Settings are working for the Dimensions. All other items are working as required, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

are you really sure you are using a product named AutoCAD 2024?

Please share your ABOUT dialog.

Hi Sebastian, yes AutoCAD 2024.

I am not familiar how to share the 'About DIALOG'...?

@desjacobs ,

Try these suggestions:

If using AutoCAD 2024 Mechanical:

What exactly? Good to know for other Threads in the future.

The links are

1. about another Software

2. Disabled osnaps, so it won't work with any objecttype, not only dimensions.
