My cursor is snapping too far away from objects

Hello Guys,

My cursor is snapping too far from objects. This is causing an issue when using my snaps. How can I change this.

Thank you,

Peter Sam

Is this problem limited to one single file?
Or all files, every single file you are in?

Did you try just restarting your PC yet?

I changed a setting, and I cannot remember what the setting is. This is for all my files. I need to snap on the objects directly and not feet away. Please check the Images, those are the issues I am having.

Thank you,

Peter Sam

Here is your image, so everyone can see it.

Just based on that, I would say check the value of the sysvar APERTURE. Set it to something like 3 and try again.

If you are more of a GUI type of person, you can find it here:

Thank you so much, that is what I had changed and could not remember. I did it and it worked.
