New version 26 fix for new Status Bar
Good day— I installed version 26 1.06 Without any problems. 🎉 After a couple of days I upgraded the status bar to the new version. And then I noticed that my entity snap or esnap wasn't showing any indicators. I went through all the variables and settings, I tried different drawings with the same problem, I rebooted my system to no avail. And then I reverted the status bar back to the original and the problem did not go away.
I then looked at the settings and saw the "Ignore entity snap elevation" was off. I enabled that setting and Poof ! It was fixed. I then enabled the new status bar again and the same behavior repeated (No Indicators). I right clicked on the E snap portion of the new status bar saw there was a slide button for" Ignore entity snap elevation", enabled it and it was fixed again. 👍️
This sort of thing can be very frustrating And scary. I was glad to be able to just calmly go through and find a solution, I hope this helps someone. Thank You

I think the Status bar is not related here, because OSNAPZ is not saved anyware by design. So when you change USENEWSTATUSBAR variable and restart program to get new Status bar displayed - OSNAPZ become 0, it's expected behavior.
More interesting why snap indication depends on OSNAPZ on your side. Do you work in 3D?0 -
Good day and thank you. In working with my situation I realized I brought in elements from an Autocad drawing I made in 2020. No I'm not a time traveler i'm just old. I've been working with CAD since 1988 or I guess it's been working on me really.😀
The initial problem of the E snap markers or symbols not being visible did not happen on drawings without the elements from the old Autocad drawing. If I keep everything Bricscad there's no problem. Over the years I had seen this kind of thing before, but it has not happened in so long I forgot about it. Even copying and pasting from one drawing to the next seems to bring in scripting elements that confuse other CAD packages. BRICS CAD still functions and I'm still able to make the drawing it's just looking for a very slight Change in the area i'm trying to attach a line to the midpoint or endpoint to see if going to attach, witch it does.
The behavior or symptom was pretty exclusive to the model space. Once I started using paper space I was getting the 3D symbol color. I configured model space to have red symbols and 3D they have blue symbols.
I also reinstalled my NVIDIA driver which is the studio version for the 5060 PNY GPU. This didn't affect the situation . I do a driver assessment every week and make sure everything is up to date. I have been building my own computers since the late 80s and am well aware of how the hardware and software issues can send us humans in circles.🙄
I will try to get short 20 or 30 second video of what I'm talking about as it is kind of indescribable. It's almost like the symbol itself becomes clear. I'll you'll see what I mean Post it to comment later today.
Also, I am just assuming this is the correct place to bring something like this up. I looked for a feedback web page or tab or something and couldn't find it on the BRICSYS website.
Again thank you and I'll get that video up as soon as I can.

Sounds rather curious. It would be useful to create a support request indeed and provide example drawing for investigation.

Good morning—-
The behavior bricks CAD is repeatable and I have made two videos. The first one is with the indicators not apparently working although if you look closely at Model view you will faint images where the triangle for midpoint square for end point etc seem to show.
The second video shows the indicators working as expected in both the model and the layout views. Yes the layout view is generating a blue indicator which is the color of the 3D indicating system.
The change in behavior occurred on its own without any input from me, apparently overnight. I started it up this morning and poof it worked. Although modeling the may have affected it Hope this helps👍️
Thank you

About the "disappeared" E-snap markers look at this topic.

Please attach to the request your current User profile also, you can export it via PROFILEMANAGER command → select current profile → press Export and give a name to created .arg file.
This doesn't look like AUTOSNAP reset, which is mentioned above, more likely this is some combination of settings in profile and drawing.
