Query on snaps etc.

charlesHFG55 — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 13:18:29 GMT

I can't replicate this, it's just happening.

Problem I'm having is intersection snap. It is turned on. Gemoetry is all at the same Z=0 level. Yes, I've checked.

But it won't snap to intersection?

Line over a polyline.

Polyline over a block.

Example of how inconsistent this is, attached.

Green circle, the location of the polyline over a block geometry, it snaps. Yellow circle, same polyline, same block, it doesn't.

There is no logic to this I can detect, and I've never see this before.

Two lines

Line over a Ray.

Nothing is attached. Can you attach the problem drawing as well?

There is something wrong within the actual drawing itself, I'm not sure what.

I copied all the items from the drawing into a new blank drawing and the intersection snap works

See the attached drawing.

@h_s_walker Leaving behind those 15k registry apps may have helped...

Hmm, the drawings I've worked on have been around the houses, that is ridiculous.

Something else to look for...and I've see some weird stuff in the project I'm working on already.

OK, drawing specific makes more sense. I've seen some weird things on the drawings (started by someone else) already, like someone deleted all the Attributes from a Title block that needed attributes, didn't do an Attsync just left it like that, so I cam along and tried to clean up some things and couldn't.

Been using Autocad since R12 and still finding bizarre stuff done by people that I struggle to fathom the *why* of.
