Endpoint Snap not showing (or snapping)

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello forum, 

 

I am working in Cad 2022 Lt.  Today I opened a file I have been working in for the past month. For an unknow reason my object snap is not working--specifically the endpoint snap and adjusting length via dragging the snap points. 

 

 The needed snap points from the cursor bar are on. And, no objects are blocks.

 

Furthermore, the issue seems to act different per random line and polygon.   

Any ideas of what could be wrong? 

 

Best,

M

Hi,

 

Check where in space you are.

I guess you are in another Galaxy.

(with your DWG, we doesn't need to guess)

 

Start UCS, set it to World,

use Command ID to see where you are.

 

If it is far away from 0,0,0 - try this as test:

MOVE <select your objects> select Basepoint near to your objects to the second point *0,0,0

then try it again.

 

(if not, upload and share  your DWG)

Sharing file. Most of the content has been deleted. I left the section of project I am working on today specifically. 

 

At the moment I am not getting end points on polygons--No square of rectangle is showing end snaps. For unmerged line it is inconsistent. 

 

Best,

Why are you drawing at coord

X=xxx-xxxxxxxx.85392  Y=117666469410.9976  Z=0.0

?

@Anonymous Your content is tooooooo faaaaarrrrr away from 0,0,0: it's about 1019069.57975063 miles (million-plus miles) in your inches-units drawing. About to the moon and back 5-ish times.

So how did you end up way over there?

Thanks for the feedback!  I didn't setup the file. I share this .dwg with another draftsman.

 

We have about 578' of architecture we are drafting around in the main save.  How I got from drawing an elevation 5' or so offset from the main structure to a couple trips to the moon I have no idea.  Something could have gone wrong in the file sharing save. 

 

 All said and done, this is the first time I have encountered a coordinates issue. Learned from this and adding it to my trouble shooting cheat sheet for later down the road. 

 

Thanks again

M
