Coordinates box question

1280.1 
As one moves the pointer around, the X & Y displays the current location... but not Z, it reads 0 all the time, even on non-zero locations. In other programs I use (Artcam), I use this Z a LOT to kind of "feel" the height of the surface.

So, I guess what I'm asking is, "Is going to be a future feature?" (or am I doing something wrong with v.Dec 28?)

thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick - what happens here is that as you move around, the point is not snapping on to the surface, it is hitting the world construction plane instead.

For version 1.0 it isn't possible to snap on to a point just at an arbitrary spot inside of a surface, you can only snap on to the edge curves.

> "Is going to be a future feature?"

Yes, I definitely want to add a surface snap in the future.

- Michael
