In X-1

[louis]

if you use your mouse zoom wheel while in manual roof mode with object snaps on the program kicks off object snaps. How many of you like that?

In 10 zomming has no affect on the snaps.

I dont understand..please rephrase,,,

Thank you

I don't know how else to explain it. In X-1 if you zoom while in roof mode object snaps turn off and you must left click again to get the snaps back.

In 10 you do nothing.

Do you have X-1?

I dont have it yet but it's a very good tip for v10'ers and Xoners alike...thanks a lot.

By mode do you mean the child buttons are showing? If so here they stay visible indicating to me that I am still in "roof mode".

Perhaps you mean something else?

Fredrick,

More precisely the object snaps turn off.

I changed the other posts to be more precise.

[fcwilt]

Hmm...

Doesn't happen here. What brand of mouse do you have?

[louis]

Microsoft laser.

So your object snaps stay active?

Louis,
I tried but my object snaps stay active just like 10

Yes they do so there must be some other condition that exists for you but not for my simple tests.

I started a new plan, draw a one room house, enabled object snaps, entered roof mode, drew a single roof plane and zoomed with mouse.

So on the same machine, same mouse, same drivers ver 10 works one way and X-1 works another. How is this possible?

Tommy gets the same thing on his machine.

I had another plan today that I could not draw manual roof planes at all and then for whatever reason it comes back. It does not do any good to send these in (I already have) because the plan works when I send it.

Louis I just tried it on my machine and didn't have any problem with it.

So far, I seem to only have that problem in roof mode if I scroll in or out with the mouse AND move my mouse in any direction. I have to move the mouse. I don't seem to have this problem when working with cad lines, polyines, etc., only with roofs. There is something about the roofs. For those of you trying this, try getting in roof mode turn on the "on object" snap, move your mouse in plan so you can see the "on object" snap is indicating. Now scroll in with the mouse wheel and ALSO move your mouse. The object snap deactivates. You then have to activate the roof tool again. It will stay active until you scroll in again AND move the mouse.

Tommy,

As far as I know it only does in roof mode for me as well.

The object snaps stay active on my roofs while zooming in or out in X1. My graphic card info is in signature below.
