Autocad object snaps far away from my cursor

Anonymous — Wed, 26 May 2021 07:50:14 GMT

Hi! I have been using Autocad for a while now as a student. Recently, after I switched to another PC, I have been having trouble with object snaps. I don't know what changed but my cursor snaps far away from where I intended it to be. It's really annoying and I can't find what changed on my settings. I've tried to look for posts related to my problem but their problems are mostly that their snaps won't work unless they are zoomed in, not like this.

Currently, I've set it to snap on endpoint, midpoint, center and geometric center. I'm using the latest Autocad 2022.

Check SNAPMODE (F9).

I tried it. Pressed F9, it says or . Nothing changed
though.

Use free Autodesk Screencast HERE or other SW to record the behavior to let us see what's happening.

Thank you everyone, I already solved the problem by checking 'nearest' from osnap.

Thanks, I had same problem on new install. I usually do select "Nearest" but missed it this time around.

An other idea, why such behavior may happen. (OSNAPZ = 1 and PERSPECTIVE = 1 and objects not on Z = 0).
