    Default Lost Dimension Snaps

    I have lost the ability to snap to other dimensions. I can snap to other objects just fine. What setting has been messed up that I need to set back to its original setting? Please advise? Thanks

    If you're using Mechanical, then post in that forum for better info -- snaps and dims work differently in that vertical.

    If using vanilla, then the available Osnaps should be NODe and ENDp. Are they not working if you key them in?

    Yes I am using Mechanical. No they do not for snapping a dimension to the node or endp of another dimension. I cannot snap to any portion of another dimension. Please advise? Thanks

    then check AMPOWERSNAP and AMPOWERDIM -- IIRC those are the relevant commands, but I don't have Mech, so can't check

    The AMPOWERSNAP dialog box has a filter option which has Dimension as option to be filtered. This has to be deselected. Thanks for the direction.
