Yep, that was it :) I assigned the shortcut key to W. (Slaps self in head, looks around sheepishly...)

Hi xrok1 - yes good call that one is going to be a problem.

Object snaps have priority and if one of them is activated then grid snap will not kick in.

At the moment you can work around it by disabling Object Snap temporarily which will then let the grid snaps come through.

But this definitely needs to be fixed.

I think what makes sense is if there is an "on" snap (axis is kind of a variety of "on"), and the object snapped on to is a line running coincident with a grid line, I'll take a look and see if there is a grid intersection close by and redirect to that.

Other than that issue, what do you think of the new axis snap - worthwhile or does it get in the way?

I wouldn't normally be messing with a major new feature like this right before release, but it just seems like this can replace a lot of basic construction line creation, which is especially good for beginners since they don't even know about construction lines.

Thanks for your attention to the details here!

- Michael

Hi Paul - well the W is a pretty obscure thing - it's just for polar coordinates centered at the origin instead of from the previous point, like w5<24 .

I was just thinking that I could pretty easily remove the auto-focusing for W because that world polar coordinate entry is just not going to be used very often, and it would still work if you clicked on that control first.

However in V2 when there is an option to relocate the construction plane to some other location, it will probably work well to use regular points to be in that relocated coordinate system, and have w as a prefix for entering world coordinates.

So I guess I will leave it so it can be leveraged in the future.

thumbs up! i like it. Another small attention to detail that sets your software apart, and shows that you are a user of this software, not just a developer trying to push a product.

I've put up a new patch here: (EDIT: Oct/21/2008 removed old broken link - this was an old patch for a v1 beta, it has already been incorporated into the v1 release and all v2 betas).

To install it unzip it and copy the moi_lib.dll file over top of the old version in C:\Program Files\MoI beta Sep-4-2007\ .

You can now hold down Alt when clicking to temporarily turn off snapping.

Fixed the new axis snap so it co-exists with grid snap instead of overriding grid snap.

Fixed some bugs and improved triangulation to help generate fewer skinny triangles, when exporting using "Quads & Triangles" or "Triangles only" settings.

Hi Danny,

This is an old thread concerning MoI beta version 1 (one).

Like Steve mentioned, that file was an old one for a v1 beta, the stuff in it has already been included in the final v1 release and also all v2 betas.
