I have been using AutoCAD for many, many years but have only recently started using it for 3D modeling using solids. The tools for this have become much easier to use. I was very impressed with the new method of creating projected views of the model in Layout using the Base and Projected commands.
However, I have been encountering some frustrating behaviour when trying to dimension (annotate) the layout views. I find that the dimensions often refuse to snap to circle centers. As well it seems only one dimension can snap to a specific location at a time. Once a dimension has been snapped to a corner or midpoint no other dimension will snap to the same location. This still occurs even if the original dimension has been erased.
I have checked this forum, Autodesk forums, and the help files but have not found any solution. I have tried various SNAP settings, both 2D and 3D but nothing seems to help.
Are there any variables or methods that I need to invoke? This behavior is ruining what I originally thought was an extremely useful feature.
