RobDraw Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It is not an AutoCAD problem. It is a graphics issue. Trust your geometry. Do not rely on the display on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 No one said anything about your educational qualifications. And if we are talking about "circles and lines" it doesn't matter what field you work in. It has no bearing on the subject. What are you attempting to do? What do you want the end result to look like? So you have "a real problem". How does this "real problem" affect what you are doing? What are you drawing? Schematics? Layouts? 2D? 3D?

aglaerum Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have discussed this with a coworker, and concluded there is a real problem, I have desided to send it to the CAD department, thank you for your time anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aglaerum Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I affects everything i try to snap to circles, I was just trying to defend my statement that there is a real problem, I was not bragging. You need to stop using Quotation marks, as it may be considered offensive... Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 So what exactly is the CAD problem? Did you find something else? We already proved that the center of the circle ends up on the other circle as desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already proved that the center of the circle ends up on the other circle as desired. I am sure it behaves correctly with you, I replyed to fast when i confirmed it. Still, my problem is simple! I snap to a circle and it seems to hit the circumference, I zoom in and it is far off, i do a regen, and it gets better, but not even close tho what it should be. When i try to snap in the new zoom level, the snapsymbol is so far away it is off the screen. You see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I am trying to save you some embrassment here. If the center of the circle does lie on the other circle, we proved that, then there isn't a CAD problem. It is a graphics problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will now save some pictures for you, you wont be able to say there is no problem, 2 sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Don't bother. My faith in the force (geometry) cannot be swayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be able to snap to the point where this line meets te Circumference, i does not find a point to snap to, as i zoom in you see its no wonder since the line is not at the Circumference at all. There realy in no room for saying this is not a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aglaerum Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Damn, forgot to crop them, however you clearly see the line does not start at the Circumference, and in the top picture you see the snap symbol is almost off the screen, and YES i did REGEN. Still not a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aglaerum Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 okay, so its about some geometrical religon, i see... well then i will try to belive this problem away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Okay, last try. It is a display issue/problem not an AutoCAD or geometry problem. You are barking up the wrong tree. If it is that much of an issue for you then you need better hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 okay, so its about some geometrical religon, i see...well then i will try to belive this problem away... Having not read all 52 posts, have you tried using the PERPENDICULAR snap, and turning off your NEAREST snap? And checked your OSNAP settings?

Well i never really said it was a geometrical problem, just some kind of snap problem, funny how there always has to be a sinner... My hardware is more than capable. I rather think its a setting issue, and it will be solved tomorrow. Thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Do you have 3D OSNAPS in 2011? You won't be able to snap to the circumference of a cylinder with 2D Snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 OSNAPZ is set to 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Draw a line from the center of the circle that passes through the circumference. Now when you draw your second circle use the intersection of the line and circle as the point to snap to via INTERSECTION and forget using NEAREST. dadgad: We've tried to pint out that the OP is working in a world of mixed objects (both 2D and 3D) but he wants to ignore the fact.
