john2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi everyone, Recently, I noticed that with some of my drawing files if I'm working with a 3D solid model and I'm using one of the isometric views, then snap to the model to draw, for example, a line or rectangle, the line or rectangle is actually drawn a couple of inches or so above the model. So, when I snap to the model, it's snapping to the model with some type of *offset* in the Z axis. I think I must have accidentally turned on some type of offset function within AutoCAD. Can anyone tell me what is likely causing this problem and tell me how I can correct it ? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Are you drawing with GRID and SNAP enabled? Have you checked your settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yes ReMark, the snap is turned on I don't use the grid function but that's not an issue here. I can see the snap marker snapping to the part on screen, but it's not really snapping to the part, it's snapping a couple of inches or so above the part in the positive Z axis. If anyone has any ideas pleas let me know. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GE13579 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Could it be that your UCS needs to be changed a couple of inches in the negative Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
