Snapping

Hi yakas - does this happen to you on something as simple as a model with just a single box in it, or is does it only happen on some particular models? If it's only on some particular models is it possible for you to send me the most simple example to moi@moi3d.com ?

Also do you see any difference in behavior if you change the option under View > "Display hidden lines" checkbox ?

If you're on Windows do you possibly have a custom setting in your video driver options that forces anti-aliasing to always be on? If so then that could be the problem - if you are not displaying hidden lines then MoI will calculate the visibility of snap points and not snap on to hidden ones, and if anti-aliasing is forced on in the driver settings it can interfere with this process.


> Also is there a way to lock a direction something is drawn?

If you have "Straight snap" enabled on the bottom toolbar, it will lock drawn objects to the nearest axis line if you have your mouse close by it.

Also when Straight snap is enabled you can hold down the Shift key to keep the current straight snap active without having to keep your mouse right nearby it.
