problems with osnap

[gabonejo]

hello, for some reason every time I attempt to draw a polygon (ex: rec.) the osnap does not recognize end points, or intersections, only perpendicular snap which is not accurate. Any suggestions ??

 

Thank you!

type "OSNAP" on the command line or right click the icon for settings and check the snaps you want.

Is this happening in any/all drawings or only in a specific one?

[gabonejo]

In several of them, they are part of the same project.

Give this a try...copy one of the problem drawings and paste it into a "fresh"/blank drawing and see if the problem still exists in the new drawing.

 

Many times, we have similar issues with drawings that originate at another company using a different version of Autocad.

What are you snapping to or from when drawing the rectangle? Once it is created you cannot snap to end points or center points?

 

try to provide a screen shot or sample file.

thank you for your replies !

joec, that apparently was the problem with a couple of them.

 

kencaz, I try to snap to several obects; extruded shapes, lines etc..

Glad to contribute for a change. I'm usually the one asking the questions.

 

Well that is really only a "bandage" for the issue, but it solves about 90% of the mystery problems we have.

 

Things like this are quite commmon for us as most of our drawings originate from a third party. I'd love to find a real solution!
