View Full Version : Tool Palette Layer Repeat BUG

Unique situation, but a repeatable bug in 2006 only.

Our function keys are setup for object snap (F2=endp, F6=perp, etc) as defined in the .CUI file (and in the past, in the *ACCELERATORS section of the .MNU/S files)

1- Set layer "0" current.

2- Use a tool palette command which draws a line on a certain layer. For example, we have one that draws a line on the "fence" layer. It will correctly draw the line on the "fence" layer.

3- Next, draw any entity using an object snap called by the function key. For example, draw a line from an endpoint (F2) to another endpoint (F2), then end the command. This entity is on layer "0", as it should be.

4- Now draw ANY entity, and it will be drawn on the same layer as defined in the Tool Palette tool used earlier, even though the current layer is "0".

If you DO NOT use object snap in step 3, -OR- if you type in the snap, or if you use the snap from the cursor menu, this behavior does not occur.

I suppose this has not been reported because very few people use object snaps that are mapped to the function keys, but it's becoming quite a problem here. I wonder, CUI bug, or something else...?
