Forceed snap to object in sketch.

Forceed snap to object in sketch.

Forceed snap to object in sketch.

(OP)
When sketching Intellisketch will snap to end of line, intersection etc. (depending on setting). Is it possible to force it to a single object like center of circle without having to change all the intellisketch settings?  Just like objectsnaps in Autocad.

RE: Forceed snap to object in sketch.

Hi,

no that's not possible -- a long standing wish ....

RE: Forceed snap to object in sketch.

A long wish standing and soon to be granted.  V20 adds this capability:

To snap to the midpoint of a line or arc, locate the element and then press M.

To snap to the endpoint of a line, arc, or curve, move the cursor to the end of the element you want to select and press E.

To snap to the center point of a circle or arc, locate the element and then press C.

To snap to a theoretical intersection point of lines, circles, curves and arcs, locate the intersecting elements and then press I. You do not have to locate the point where the elements intersect. If there is more than one
eligible intersection point, then QuickPick opens automatically to let you choose the one you want to snap to.

What is "RMB"?

RE: Forceed snap to object in sketch.


RMB = Right Mouse Button
LMB = Left Mouse Button

IPC - Insert Part Copy

RE: Forceed snap to object in sketch.

If you hover over the circle or arc you will see the center display, then you can move your mouse over the center point and get it to snap to the center of the circle.

And for some other abbreviations
People also use MB1 for regular or Left Click and MB3 for RMB because not everyone is Right Handed.
