Hi Mik, if you're not using Condacam I don't think it is very likely this setting will do anything useful for you.

It's not so much the programming for the UI that bothers me, it's more about having a gigantic amount of UI being harder to use.

Some options may only be useful to just one person. For something like that it's not good for all users to pay the price of having a more difficult UI to navigate through.

If I were to require that every single setting must have some UI for it in the Options dialog, it would probably mean that I would have to avoid putting in settings that only helped out one single person.

If I see a pattern start to develop with the setting being needed by more people, then that's when I would want to set up UI for it in Options.

This is one of the ways to help avoid the problem of "bloat" with a program getting more and more difficult to use over time simply by having more stuff jammed into the UI all over.

Hi Michael,

yes, I absolutely agree with you, and I understand of course, that too many UI settings isn't right way for MoI, especially for one person only, and this is good for MoI.

I reported only my experineces with CAD/CAM communication.

Peace of mind.

Sorry for the late report Michael but I'm noticing odd behavior with Leaders and Grid Snap.

When I pull a leader out from its initial point, it is not snapping on grid subdivisions as it should. Grid Snap is on & it doesn't seem to matter if Object Snap is on or off. For reference, my units are inches, grid size is 1 and snap size is .25. What appears to be happening is that the length of the leader segment is in multiples of the snap size, with the effect being that what acts like a grid snap is actually offset from the normal grid snap locations.

Leaders do seem to work as expected with Object Snap and Straight Snap.

Upon further tinkering, I think this is more generalized to the annotation system because I noted the same type of behavior with horizontal and vertical dimensions. The lengths of the dimension offsets are in multiples of the grid snap, but are not snapping to the grid.

I note this behavior with both Sep-10 and Sep-16 betas on macOS 10.13.6 (17G14033)

Hi Larry, thanks for reporting this. Yes it's snapping to a grid but with the grid origin located at the first picked point. It's not intentional that it should do that, I'll see about fixing it.

Thanks, - Michael
