My Cross Hairs Gone and No OSNAP Control
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
You gotta love AutoCAD.
I changed my OSNAP to Isometric and I'm hitting all the F keys looking for the hotkey to switch between the different Isoplanes. Now I can't see my cross hairs and I just noticed I can't turn my OSNAP on. Everytime I click on OSNAP it opens the dialog box to let me change the settings but doesn't turn it on.
OK...I just figured something out. I went into OSNAP settings and noticed none of my snaps were selected so I selected Endpoint and was able to toggle OSNAP on and off but I still don't have my cross hairs. In fact I don't have anything when I move the cursor over the drawing. It's only when I move the cursor outside the drawing do I see the cursor. I can see it moving over objects in the drawing but nothing more.
Any ideas?

how far zoomed in are you and/or what is your snap spacing?

I'm not zoomed in very far and I don't know my snap spacing because I never use it so I didn't look. I was pressing buttons and inadvertantly turned it on.
You may be on to something though.
I looked an the spacing for the grid is well spread apart so when I had snap on it never snapped to a spot where I could see the crosshairs.
Pretty cool...I learned something new today. Thanks.

The key combo < Ctrl > plus < E > control the three iso-planes.

F5 also controls the iso planes
