Point snapping on curve / Zoom on Point

Hi Tom, well if you see the "End" snap tag show up around the point that's the way you can know it's for sure snapped onto the end. If there are several endpoints of different curves in that same vicinity, that's when it can be good to zoom in a bit. There isn't exactly such a thing as a "maximal zoom", if you zoom in too far it can cause a lot of display artifacts though where you see things kind of jump between locations, that's because of the limited precision of floating point math that's done on the computer.

But give this script a try on a shortcut key:

script: /* zoom in a lot on the picked point */ var p = moi.ui.createPointPicker(); if ( p.waitForEvent() && p.event == 'finished' ) { var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); v.targetPt = p.pt; if ( v.projection == 'Parallel' ) { v.fieldOfViewAngle = v.fieldOfViewAngle / 250.0; } }

That should zoom in quite a ways on the next picked point. If you adjust the number 250 there to be larger like say 300 or 400 that will zoom in closer, reduce it to zoom in less.
