Point to point move in X6

[Gary Turlington]

I seem to be having issues with PTP in X6. This is a feature I use constantly; however, with X6 I don't seem to be able to get any precision. When I try to select the object to move, I don't get the familiar red x showing my selection point. When I move, it does not work at all if the object and destination are really close and, if not, it just get an approximate move, not a precision move, as I have come to expect. I have checked my snapping options (which I have never really understood how they all interact etc) and no setting I have tried seems to make a difference.

I have seen no posts on this, so it is likely a product of my own ignorance. But, I still need help if it is available.

Thoughts.

Do you have all of your snapping options checked on? I was having an issue the other day and discovered that I needed to put a check mark in one of the boxes for the point to point snapping to work.

Thanks Curtis:

That seems to have been the problem. I never have fully understood the snapping system. Seems it never works, for me, exactly the way it purports to do so. Also, as in this instance, it seems to affect other operations as to what snaps are or are not turned on. I usually keep them all on, but occasionally, that creates a problem with something I am trying to do and I turn some or all of them off and forget to turn back on. I suppose that was it. I had all turned on except one and PTP did not work properly.

Thanks for you help, most appreciated.
