Unable to snap to Point nodes when Alignment nodes are at the same X,Y

[hencoop]

Hello all,

I have a relatively new installation of AutoCAD Civil 3D 2021 and I am no longer able to snap to Point nodes  (AECC_COGO_POINT object nodes) if an Alignment object has a node coincident at the location even when DRAWORDER has been used to bring all Points to the front of the Alignment.

This is not the behavior I am used to.  I can turn off the Alignment display (Change its style to _No Display); but, I'm wondering why does osnap not follow the object draworder when selecting objects?  Did something change?

Hello @hencoop ,

While hovering over the two nodes, pressing Tab will cycle between the alignment and the COGO Point. When you see the COGO Point highlighted, click the mouse.

@tcorey I've never had to do anything but snap to node and get whatever node was on top.  Pressing [Tab] works but I'm sure I've been able to use draworder in earlier versions so I don't need the extra keystroke(s) to snap to the object on top.  I'm just trying to find out if something changed or if C3D 2021 is behaving incorrectly.

@tcorey  Changing the Alignment style to _No Display eliminates the need to [Tab] to the node I want.  Since I have lots of nodes to snap to that are in this condition turning off the alignment display saves me time.
