Hi Robert,

Thanks for posting to the forums, can you tell us what product you are using when you see this? For example AutoCAD 2017. That will help us get you pointed in the right direction for help here.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing back from you on this.

Hi @Anonymous, 

Are you still having an issue with your AutoCAD settings? 

Do you have the same issue if you log in as a different windows user? 

You could always try resetting your settings to default locate the "Reset to Defaults" option, I have included a picture below on where you can find this feature as well as looking over this article. Save a copy of your custom settings if needed. Let me know if this helps.

Could be as basic as setting SNAPMODE to off (0).
