Snapping on a Custom Locator in Viewport 2.0

[sebastianNYUXH]

Hi,

I created  a custom locator derived from MPxLocatorNode with the c++ api.

For Viewport 2.0 support I also created a DrawOverride class derived from MHWRender::MPxDrawOverride.

Everything works fine, but now I want to snap on this custom locator.

So I create a sphere, press 'v' and move the sphere near to the custom locator, but a snapping is not happening.

After switching from Viewport 2.0 to the Legacy Viewport the snapping works... 

Anyone got a Idea, what I have to implement, to get the snapping working in Viewport 2.0?

Best regards

Sebastian

Did you ever figure this out Sebastian? I now have the same issue with my custom MPxLocatorNode in viewport 2. Legacy viewport isn't even a default option any more.

Seriously, does nobody know how to enable point snapping on a custom locator for Viewport2.0? It seems to just work by default on legacy viewport (I mean, point-snapping is arguably one of the primary purposes of a regular locator), but legacy viewport has not been the default, or readily available, or even relevant at all, for years now.

I've found I can kinda workaround it by turning on the display of the transform pivot or handle, but this is a hacky workaround and doesn't adequately cover every eventuality (like when the user wants to move the pivot or the locator's localPosition) without even more messy hacks layered on top.
