Snap to centre of line, change from triangle

sk11

Hi, is it possible to change snap to centre of line from trinagle to something else

Wiebe van der Worp

Could you elaborate on that? No idea what you are asking.

Please see above, change triangle into something else, maybe a square

Clear!

SnapMarkerThickness, SnapMarkerColor and SnapMarkerSize can be changed but I am not aware of possibilities to change the shape.

Just curious, why do you want that?

Thanks Wiebe van der Worp

I'm using for the first time and have come from AutoCAD background, and for several subtle reasons, the flow is just not the same as in AutoCAD, although BricsCAD is very good as well

So far changed some settings as per notes I made below for own reference, but still not the same. I adjusted ATTRACTIONDISTANCE to a large value, but in reality when drafting you get stuck and have to zoom in to release the attraction … on this is there a setting to what you can attract to such as end points and mid points for lines, centre only for circle

- Mouse cursor. CURSORSIZE is for the red and green crosshairs. PICKBOX for the white box intersecting crosshairs (default is 4).
- Size of grips, coloured green. GRIPSIZE (default 4) increased to something like 8.
- Attraction distance when initiating selection. ATTRACTIONDISTANCE (default 4) increased to something like 8
- Snap sensitivity. APERTURE is for entity snap sensitivity (default 10), try changing to something like 12.
- Snap marker. SNAPMARKERSIZE (default 8) is the size of the green prompt when snapping.

It is easy to get lost here, we agree on that :-) Personally I tend to keep values equal, so the same value for:

aperture gripsize pickbox attractiondistance (snapmarkersize)

Setting apbox to 1 helps me a lot.

OK thanks Wiebe van der Worp, I'll give this a try
