x1.4 noted problems

Cliff,

What I would like in that example is on object the snap of choice, I want angle snaps to keep the dimension line perpendicular and I want the dimension to go from the first snap to the second and I want to go in either direction and in any location along that wall.

I think it would be easier for newbies to learn with on object to an object instead of on object to intersection. When you think about it when you get your first snap you are creating an intersection but the intersection snap does not show up the on object does. The snapping to the object creates the intersection. So on the other end you don't have an intersection yet until you snap to the object. Then you have an intersection.

Does this make sense? The pnemonia may have fried my brain.

Louis,

I prefer the On Object snap, as I keep it on at all times. I switch between End and Intersection snaps, so usually I have the Intersection inactive. It seems like they compete for attention when working with walls. I can remember how snaps work for about a day, then have to relearn. As long as we can get a snap on both ends for the dimension to follow, it should work. There are times when I don't use snaps at all for dimensions, but many times when I wish we had them, such as the example you've shown.

I'm thinking the current setup is okay, but add a feature to allow the dimensions to follow snaps, overriding all else.
