Multiple Copies and Ortho

If I make a copy of something while in Ortho mode (in order to make multiple copies along a straight line and place them as I want to). . .after the FIRST copy, Ortho mode is no longer working.Choose something. . .right click. . choose copy. . .press F8 (or if already in Ortho mode. .either way). . click for ONE copy. . .after THAT copy. . .no more Ortho. . Anyone else able to reproduce this problem?Thanks in advance.

  • I too am having this same problem. I cannot find any relationship to a config-setting.I am using version 6.2.0019. with windows xp-pro.

  • Strange thing is that if you do the same thing choosing previous selection ortho works fine.Very repeatable 6.2.0019

  • Response from Bricscad support:(Quick as always!)The case described by you may occur when the ‘polar snap’ is ‘on’. For avoidance similar problem you should set ‘polar snap’ to ‘off’. (Settings->Drawing settings->Coordinate input-> Change settings for ‘Snap-Tracking’) But in any case it is a bug and in further versions it will be fixed.This does indeed remedy the problem. . .no more polars. . but they weren't that big of a concern to me either way.
