Snaps not working correctly

Hi, I do 2d traffic management plans, and I've found that today my Bricscad isn't allowing me to snap to anything. Even when I hit F3 and the menu box appears (with all the snap options you can check), even when check the boxes I need there is no difference - No red boxes or red x's appearing anywhere on the lines. This file was fine when I left work yesterday, any ideas as to why my program now wouldn't snap at all?

I have tried Flattening all the lines, setting Autosnap to 1, and hard resets. To no avail.

I did have a slight degree of success when I placed a Polyline and typed 'Per' before clicking on the next spot, but this is very long winded and also not super accurate. I just want to close my polylines!

Can anybody offer assistance on this matter?

Many thanks

    update:

    I have found that ending the task through Task Manager and then reopening the software has fixed the issue.

    As in 'try switching it off an on'!

    No mate, hard reset was ineffective.

    That's interesting - so what does a Task Manager ending do that a hard reset doesn't?

    Precisely what I was wondering! I've not had the issue since I ended the task though so there must be a difference, as I had tried a reboot a couple of times before TM occurred to me.

    I'm having a very similar issue with v.26. Was working perfectly, magnetic grips were working, and overnight they don't. Happened with v.25 as well and was resolved when updated to v.26. Guess I'll fill a support request as suggested.

    Hi Margarita, could you please check the AUTOSNAP variable? There was an issue in V26.1.07 - this variable was reset to 0, if UNDO is run after creation or editing of Mtext. If this looks like your case also, and AUTOSNAP=0, please set it to 127.

    Same here snaps appear not to work, thought when clicking close to endpoint it seems to find it. Problem also with pickbox not displaying when close to a desired snap point. v.26.

    Fixed when changing AUTOSNAP=127.
