silmore Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hi there Im new to this forum. I've been using acad 2004 for 3d drafting for a while but recently my old computer went down and i was assinged another one that has acad 2013 and Im still trying to get used to it but I ran into a dead end and maybe you guys know a way around. when Im drawing a new object lets say a square over a wall with a window and attempt to snap the square to the underlaying object I cant snap it to it, it highlights the wall and it wont let me snap it to the window behind... I select the square tool and it highlights the top object with a dotted line and wond let me snap it anywhere else but that object. What can I do??? how can I turn this off and use it like a classic acad 2004? Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Try setting CULLINGOBJ to 0, also CULLINGOBJSELECTION to 0. Going from memory but I think those are the ones to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
