going crazy over osnap quirk

[robb]

Ok. New here and don't know exactly how to use this forum, but think this is a great resource. I have installed ACAD 2009 architecture on a laptop with windows 7 and whenever I open the osnap settings box, I can only see half the options. It's like both columns are trying to show up in the same place so I can't select half of the osnap settings I need. Going crazy over this. If I have to reinstall, is there a way to do that without uninstalling the entire package?

Have you tried changing resolution to see if it makes a difference?

You could try a repair before resorting to a reinstallation.

I'm not sure how to repair the program. When I insert the cd for AutoCAD, it won't give me that option. ?????

I am getting onto trouble with OSNAPS in another way.

 

Whenever it say "draw a line from thissa location to..." Well if an arrowhead is shown anywhere close, it snaps to the tip instead of some endpoint or intersection etc. Most often to work around such inconvenience, I have to turn off the layer that has the arrowhead upon it, then the OSNAP function works normally.

 

Any way to stop this unwanted arrowhead attraction when in the OSNAP mode?

You can get to the REPAIR option via Add/Remove in the control panel.

 

Do not try an uninstall before trying this option. Let us know what happens.
