Snap From Endpoint
« on: October 18, 2005, 07:45:04 AM »
Hi Guys,

How would/could I automate the "Snap From" and "Endpoint" into  a 1 key press shortcut?

Many thanks

I don't know if I've ever used that toolbar.  I either type 'em, shift+right click or keep them running.  :)

Another way to do it using running Osnaps is just to make sure you have the snaps you use most often turned on, but toggle osnap with F3.  That's what I do because I don't like having the running Osnap turned on very often.

Methinks I need to explain what I have to do on a regular basis.

I have a sheet of over 100 cross sections dumped from MX. They spit them out in one big block, but to get them to look right in the drawing frame each has to be a certain distance from the edge of the other, we usually get 12 to a drawing frame.

Currently I select a section, pick and endpoint, then pick snap from, then pick another endpoint and type the required distance it is needed to be away from the last section (if you understand what I'm trying to say, or is a diagram needed?)

Many thanks
T :-)

I think she means she has this --

Code: [Select]
+---+---+---+
|   |   |   |
+---+---+---+
|   |   |   |
+---+---+---+
|   |   |   |
+---+---+---+
But wants this --

Code: [Select]
+---+  +---+  +---+
|   |  |   |  |   |
+---+  +---+  +---+

+---+  +---+  +---+
|   |  |   |  |   |
+---+  +---+  +---+
 
+---+  +---+  +---+
|   |  |   |  |   |
+---+  +---+  +---+
Apologies for the crude graphics.

Drafting abilities, bwaaa, nasal thrusted coffee!

Anyway, I think the move command using the displacement option would be the fastest way to do it.

Not so simple I'm afraid (or am I mistaken), the last block of sections I worked on were 14 sections horizontally and 18 sections vertically, I can only get 3 horizontally and 4 vertically on a drawing frame, and the sections are not individual blocks they are lines, and text.

No, a diagram/thinned out drawing maybe the answer.

Many thanks
T :-)
