care to share your research technique? anything special?

[ReMark]

Machine language...you wouldn't understand it. All zero's and one's. LoL

Seriously though, I think many people come up with search criteria that is so vague either they get few if any worthwhile results or they get overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands (even millions) of "hits". Where does one start to look then?

Hang around here for almost seven years and you're bound to learn something! That's my technique and I'm standing by it.

the phone book? lol

[dumfatnhappy]

here's one for you, curious if you have the same trouble. I can't seem to grab the pipe nodes (connector) especially when in front of a solid (can't do crap that way)... I seem to recall typing in PPE or some such like an osnap.... any thoughts on that?

You're not talking about 3DSELECTIONMODE are you?

[dumfatnhappy]

there you go again........

[dumfatnhappy]

not quite what I need. for instance I'm trying to attach a flange to a piece of pipe and it wants to osnap to everything but the conector. the old days it would light right up. how do I make it do that?

[ReMark]

Highlight? Selection Preview Effect. Options > Selection tab. Visual Effects button.

Or are you talking about AutoSNAP settings > Magnet (lock crosshairs onto nearest snap point)?

[dumfatnhappy]

not what I'm askin, I want the node (connector) to light up or magnet like a grip when attaching componets together (then the triangles go away) ..... it used to do that

[dumfatnhappy]

wow, it appears that 'node' does it after all... go figure!
