Snap Auto-selected When Dimensioning
John Pearson 31 Mar 2019
Even though all of my snaps are turned off, the "nearest" choice is always turned on when selecting any of the dimension items. I usually don't want any snaps when dimensioning and when I do it's usually "end of line". How do I turn off the auto select or change it to "end of line"?
Thanks

That solved the problem but created another. Now the cursor has lost it's snap grid action. The dimension still appears to snap to the grid but the cursor now "floats" on the screen.

The button is selected but the cursor does not move to snap points. When you turn off the dimension "nearest" feature, is appears to also turn off visible snap when dimensioning. I turned the feature back on to get the cursor snap then use end of line when dimensioning.
PS
When "nearest" is turned off, the cursor cross-hair is also disabled during dimensioning.

Cursor moves to snap points when any command is active.
Are you sure that Object Snap (OSNAP) is on and there are selected snaps?

Yes, OSNAP is on and "end of line" selected. Cursor does not jump to snap points but seems to select the right feature. On one occasion, the cross-hair was missing. Turning the "nearest" back on resolved the problem.

I just tried it again with "nearest" off and it now works as expected. Don't know what's going on but will watch for problems. Thanks for taking the time to help me.
