stupid polylines

i couldn't think of a subject name for the thread so i wrote that.



i'm having a problem when making a construction line "xl" using a snap point from a polyline. the first point of the xl is 0,0,0 not "selected point" coords. any suggestions?


"Priority for Coordinate Data Entry" on the "User Preferences" tab in Acad 2000/2000i, if I understand your question.

thanks tomd, but tried that and no dice on "Running object snap" mode.

i'm running adt 2.0

I like it.

What snap are you trying?

i'm using any object snap that will work.

however they are all snapping to 0,0,0 whenever i object snap to a polyline or aec entity

That's weird. Have you tried keyboard entry?

yes manual entry gives same result. as well (i believe this problem is related) when i have polar/objectsnap/objecttracking on and i start a line where it is object snaped to a constructionline on 0.00 degree angle it give the following: Zero length line created at (x,y,z)

odd ah?

Does it happen in all drawings or just one?

good point michael, just this drawingis having the issue. gues there must be a corrupt entity. odd that audit isn't picking it up either. i have a macro so every time i save it audits the drawing first.

well i guess i'll insert drawing into a blank drawing and giver.

rockon ! thanks for all the help
