    Problem with Status Bar (Bottom Buttons - Acad 2004)

    The software is Autocad 2004. I am not the one using it, so the following details are all I know. The bottom Status bar, where it shows Target, Coords, and then the SNAP|GRID|ORTHO|POLAR|OSNAP|OTRACK|LWT|MODEL buttons, get's overwritten sometimes. I haven't been able to pinpoint when it is...

    Unable to snap to dimension lines/points (Acad Mechanical 2000i)

    The basic problem is I can't snap to dimension lines or points. This makes it impossible to line up dimensions without exploding them. I know I can use "dimcontinue" when going down a line - but that isn't what I need most of the time. I have never had a problem with this until after I loaded...
