Grips won't stretch/snap

cuba_pete · 发表于 2022-7-7 17:20:49

Whoa...here is something I just discovered. I can stretch lines and boxes to the right, but not the left. This goes for expanding or contracting the boxes...doesn't matter. It's a left/right thing. Then, snapping works back to the left, but not to the right. Still cannot snap back to the left to the midpoint of the line, either.

Wow...weird.

Here's another discovery: If I try to move a box, I can only use the corner grip on the side I want to move towards, i.e., top grips to move north, bottom grips to move south. So, I can only *increase* the size of a box because they are on the outsides edges of the box.

Type OSNAPOVERRIDE at the command line and set it to 0, then try again. Or if it was set to 1 let us know that as well.

It was already set to 0 (zero), but I reset it anyway. No change.

The screen shots I include here may show clues. When I try to simply stretch a line it only gives two options: up and down, and back with that Ortho label. That used to say Specify Stretch Point, not Ortho.

Now again, when I try to stretch back to the mid-point, the snap selectpoint (orange box) is show at the lines source and snaps to there.

This is one of the really weird parts. When I try to change the size of a box (polyline rectangle, whatever) I can only move in the direction of the particular side I have selected. In the graphic here, see how the top right grip is selected as the snap point even though my crosshairs are to the left? It will not let me specify anything to the left as a stretch point. This works similar depending on selecting top, bottom or sides. I can only *increase* the size of the box.

Short of submitting a request to my IT department I am at a loss. That will take weeks. There has to be a logical explanation for this. I must have changed some setting inadvertently but I cannot figure it out.

Got it...solution found.

I Googled Ortho and came up with the hint I needed. I never saw that Ortho box before...it always said Polar. When I entered the command Ortho and set it to off everything returned to *normal*. There must be a hot-key for that as well and I somehow invoked Ortho mode. I can see the benefits to that mode, but it doesn't work for me right now.

never would have gotten that from your problem description.

Get a good book that covers blocks (especially with attributes) and become an expert on them. (you will want to go well beyond anything covered in any book on this topic) Will pay back dividends in a big way if this is your usual work.
There are some free classes here, mostly on dynamic blocks http://au.autodesk.com
You want to concentrate on attributes.
