problem with FROM OSNAP command modifier

[binaya shahi]

why don't autocad fix those errors? such errors have been around for ages. no matter how many newer versions are introduced same errors gets repeated again and again. and i have also a problem with from command, it picks the point at a little distance from where it was meant to pick from.

Which errors are you referring to?

I created a new thread for this question problem with FROM OSNAP command modifier in AutoCAD Beginners' Area forum.

 

Works perfect here, I have never had a problem with the FROM OSNAP command modifier.

 

Are you using OSNAPs for the rest of the locating?

yes, suppose i want to pick a point on a line1 at a distance of 3' from one end of the line1 to draw line2 perpendicular to line1. then i would use line command and to pick the first point i would right click and choose "from", then i would choose one end of line1 as a base point and place the cursor such that osnap snaps to other end of line1 and then i would type distance 3'. the first point of line2 will be at 3 ft from one end of line1 but it doesn't lies on line1 but slightly away (right or left of line 1) from line1.

one is with break at a point, when this command is repeated instead of breaking line at a point autocad leaves gap in the line!

and one is with from command i just explained below.

Re: Break @ Point.

 

I suppose it depends on how you are indicating the break point. Each time the command repeats it prompts you to Select object. Maybe you are in a hurry and getting ahead of what AutoCAD is expecting and what it is that you want to do.
