Suddenly my cursor will not grab the endpoint of a line or allow me to snap that to any other point

 

Suddenly my cursor has stopped grabbing endpoints of lines.  It also has stopped suddenly allowing me to drag endpoints to snap to other endpoints.  I haven't changed any settings at all.  This simply started happening today out of the blue.

Yes I've checked the snap options.  Yes I've searched the Internet for an answer prior to posting.  Yes I've made a short video.  No this forum doesn't allow video.  Here's a probably useless screenshot though.

What version of AutoCAD, run About command, do a screenshot and share that here

Does this happen on all drawings or just one?

What is your Windows OS?

At the command line, type GRIPS and set to 2:

Figure out how to share the video (lots of file sharing options out there that are free) or post your actual DWG file instead along with screenshots of your AutoCAD's ABOUT and GRAPHICSCONFIG commands pop-ups please.

Thank you to everyone who replied.  I closed and restarted the program and the issue disappeared.  No idea what happened.

That should move up your list of trouble shooting steps to somewhere near the top. At least put it above posting to the forums.
