AutoCAD Intersection Lines

AutoCAD Intersection Lines

AutoCAD Intersection Lines

(OP)
Hello all,
I used to have AutoCAD 2009 but now with a new laptop, I have AutoCAD 2006.  Its layout is different and I am trying to turn on a few features that I liked in 2009.  In 2-D drawings, moving objects in relation to one another was simple.  For example, if I wanted to move a selection of objects to a new point and have them directly below a new point, I could hold my cursor over that new point and move the mouse.  It would give me a dotted line above, below, to the left or right of the new point.  With 2006, I have to dimension everything first or draw a new line and then move the objects I want.  It's much more time consuming.  I hope this was understandable.  Can anyone help me out?  Thank you

RE: AutoCAD Intersection Lines

If you hover over the "snap" button, or search the menu tree for Auto-snap options, you can select "intersections" as an option there.

I don't think Object Tracking is available in 2006.  How did you upgrade computers and downgrade your software?  

RE: AutoCAD Intersection Lines

Don't remember about object tracking in 06 either, but point filters have been around for a while too.  As long as you're just trying to line up horizontally/vertically, point filters can be a big help.

RE: AutoCAD Intersection Lines

I'm not real sure but you might try the apparant intersection snap
