Hi guys

 

Is there a way to stop osnaps snapping to a selected objects stretch points?

 

Say for example I select a polyline and then select that polylines stretch point, quite often osnaps will snap to the stretch point that I have just selected (frustrating!!) and will discount the osnap on the other object that I want to snap to.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers

Well, you can turn off the Endpoint-snap.

 

You can by typing END (endpoint), INT (intersection) or MID (midpoint) or one of the like and get a temporary override and only snap to that OSnap.

 

But usually I find that AutoCAD snaps to the closes OSnap-point, so by being fairly careful where you 'drop' you line, most often you can find the right one.

there's an F key to toggle on and off - somebody remind me, is it F8?

you can also TAB to toggle to another's end point.

 

personally I use shift-right click to select the one snap I want as this seems to take priority over the running snaps.
