PICK BOX SENSITIVITY

[Mike1234]

Good Morning, hopefully someone will have an easy fix for my latest question

for example I want to move an object, I click the move button then click the object to be moved, if I am zoomed out the pick box moves straight to the tab on the object, if I am zoomed in the pick box jumps around and will not attach to the tab, is there a pick box sensitivity setting I can change

This perhaps?  "APERTURE system variable: This variable controls the size of the object snap aperture box, which is an invisible box around the pickbox. The snap engages when the cursor enters this box. A smaller aperture size makes object snapping less sensitive."

If your cursor is "jumping around" at a small scale, you might need to turn off the grid snap. Use the command DSETTINGS to open the drafting dialogue box and go to the Snap and Grid tab. You can turn display of the grid on and off (also with F9). You can turn snapping on and off (also with F7), but you may want to be able to snap to objects, so there's a button to turn off only Grid Snap.

 

If you're new to AutoCAD, it's a good idea to get familiar with all the settings in this box. Don't be afraid to experiment, you can always turn things back off.
