Off 90 by just a hair..

FWIW, the only way I've been able to have object snaps over-ride Angle Snaps is when I snap to a vertex or center-point. Just snapping to the nearest point on a wall always matches my Angle Snap setting of 15 degree increments.

I'm using X5 64 bit.

I second that. It overrides object snaps to the point that its frustrating at times.

ORTHO LOCK, ORTHO LOCK, ORTHO LOCK! We've been asking for it from the beginning of the "X versions". Chief's cad and walls need a toggle that allows the user to stop this nonsense. It's very time consuming and frustrating and if you don't catch it, can cost you some money (of course the time consumption continually costs us money) for putting out a flawed document. Maybe Chief should rebate half of my SSA cost for my troubles.

At the very least, lines and walls should follow the 15 or 7.5 degree angle snaps and not jump to some arbitrary snap point. You should need to turn off the angle snaps or hold a control key to deviate otherwise. Maybe there should also be 45 degree angle snap option to further facilitate the drawing of walls and cad lines which are primarily at 90 degree increments. For this to be occurring in X5 after all the hype is just plain bullship.-BB

Oh, and interestingly, Archicad handles it in a Bass Ackwards Way by holding the control key (for ortho locking) when drawing a line or wall in order to guarantee that the lines hold to 90 degree increments. Who was the genius programmer on that one?!!! Maybe he was moonlighting from Chief?

I have not experienced this problem. Either I am not aware of it or the other users are doing something just a little differently than what I am doing. So how do we get to the bottom of this? Come on guys, think.... how do we figure out why some people have issues and others don't? What is different? All this blather does not get to the issue. Maybe somebody can show us an example of this occuring. I generally believe this is user error, and I suppose CA thinks it is user error and they will not fix it, so you have to give them some hard core evidence of the issue.
