    Default Spline Osnap Problem

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi Cad peeps

    All of the sudden when I use my spline tool, with the second point the spline shoots way off the the left. This only happens if osnaps are on, but I need to osnap to another spline. Thoughts? Was using spline all morning without it doing this. Thx!

    1. Turn OSNAP off when selecting and use OSNAP from context menu when you have to select the second spline.
    2. I noticed that if you have a few modes in Osnap Settings (like 'Midpoint' and "Endpoint' only) on AutoCAD sticks to them even they are quite away... When setting 'Nearest' on AutoCAD will 'follow' spline, but highlights other characteristic points when you close enough as well.
    LT is still AutoCAD

    A context menu is a menu you usually (as you know you can have different setting) have with mouse right click + SHIFT (or CTRL) during command... maybe somebody explains it to you better or just try it yourself.
