Snap Point Entity Issues…

[Drafter1981]

To All,

I have recently run into issues with “Snap Point Entities” not working properly…

For whatever reason, the items I am creating, or have created, seem not to show up properly, or in most instances,  are offset, thus resulting in a rendering error when importing into  Navisworks or some other type of BIM software.

You really do not see the error until the rendering  goes missing or shows the item missing. Upon a “recheck” into the original AutoCAD file you will find the entity is in the wrong spot however, upon clicking that entity, the “Snap Points” will appear in the right spot. (refer to attachments, or photos of “screen-views”.

As usual I just wanted to find out if there is any valid reason for this to happen or perhaps, if we may have missed an

update / hotfix through Autodesk?

Thanks in advance for any information or help with this issue.

Regards,

Offset Location is shown correct but the "snap-points" is wrongIn this case , the "snap-point" is correct, but the wire frame is wrongAs you can see (the rendering) is correct however, since the "snap-points" were wrong the pipe is now in the wrong locationWireframe View showing snap-point errors

Hello @Drafter1981,

Maybe @tbrammer can provide some suggestions as well. 

If several running object snaps are turned on, more than one object snap may be eligible at a given location. You can press "Tab" to cycle through the possibilities before you specify the point.

Just adding myself to the thread from my work or professional account...

BTW this is a "3D" AutoCAD issue / BIM issue. I've never seen this before & this is the type of issue that would have an impact on a project however, when running a collision report, or simply just trying to view AutoCAD objects in a BIM model and to have the coordinator ask,

"why are the objects misplaced" ?

Upon "rechecking" only to find you did draw, or place your objects in the right location but...

"The AutoCAD file has a glitch"

Again, as usual, any help or information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
