nrschmid Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 When I type PL for polyline and then END or MID or PER they don't work, but they do for lines? Any way to change this? When I manually type in any of these snap commands my OSNAP settings turn off. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You are referring to OSnaps and they do work with polylines. I use polylines on a daily basis and my OSnaps work just fine. I set my OSnaps then forget them. My test a moment ago using polylines and typing in END, MID or PERP verifies that those particular OSnaps do work.

rkent Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I seem to remember a problem with plines and linetypes and osnap. If your plines are on a layer with a linetype other than continuous then change it to that and try, or if they are set per object change to continuous and try. Also, not sure if 2005 had this but if so use the PLINETYPE setting and set to 2, try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I created a new layer and assigned it the DASHED linetype. I drew a single polyline across the screen at an angle. Then I drew three more polylines using the END, MID and PERP snaps respectively and it worked as expected. Value of PLINETYPE, which I have never changed, was 2. I wonder if the OP checked what his was set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 OP is using 2005, I doubt you can reproduce the problem on 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got 2007 here at work and 2004 at home. Could give one or both a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
