Persistent endpoint and midpoint Osnap problem

[rudnii]

:My endpoint & midpoint snap seem to be always up. They are not checked in the draft settings box (only center and intersection are).

 

Example: When I try to draw a line from the center of an arc, the osnap icons go from endp to midp to endp, the center of the arc is never available. When I exit the Line command and check my settings, the center and intersection are still the only ones checked.

Here's the weird thing that I found: If I check the settings while in the Line command, the endp & midp are checked! When I uncheck them and hit apply - ok, the line snaps to the center just like I want it to. When I start the Line command again, the problem reappears.

 

This problem exists across the board for commands and objects I am trying to snap to. Am I missing something with the settings or is this a glitch? I really hope for a solution to this!

 

Thanks,

Does anybody at all have any idea what is causing this? I tested this on another seat of Mechanical 2011 and it has the same problem. I can't believe nobody else has seen this issue. It is a very bad problem.

 

Thanks,

It could be your OSOPTIONS variable. Mine is set to 3 so that my preference is always constant.

[rudnii]

Mine is set to 3 also.

[Fire_col]

Ok what about OSNAPOVERRIDE?

[rudnii]

It was set to 0. I set it to 1 and still have the same problem.

Try it using .line (notice the period) and see what happens.

[rudnii]

Nope. Same problem.

Any Lisp/VBA/.Net routines loaded?

 

Sounds like a command reactor of sorts....

[rudnii]

I have lisp routines that I used in ACAD 2000, but had no problem like this. I unloaded all of them and opened acad with nothing loaded and the problem remains.

 

This problem acts like the osnap for endp and midp are forced on inside of the native (line, circle, etc.) ACAD commands.

This is probably pointless, but try:

 

(command "_.line" PAUSE)

[rudnii]

This is probably pointless, but try:

 

(command "_.line" PAUSE)

 

That worked!

 

I used it as a workaround until they patch this program (hopefully). It fixes most everything except a gripedit move/copy. I don't see anyway you could fix that since you're not in a command.

 

The Copy, Move etc. commands were dicey though. For anyone else that sees this whole deal as a problem:

 

(defun c:cp ()
(setq ss1 nil)
(setq ss1 (ssget))
(if (= ss1 nil)
(command "_.copy" PAUSE)
(command "_.copy" "p" "" PAUSE)
)
)

 

Thanks alot bud,

Smells like a command reactor or redefined command(s).

In autocad mechanical there is a Mechanical Toolbar, open toolbar Snap settings

Setup the 4 settings and select the one you want to use
