Designer V2 iPad - Snap On/Off - Still Have To Make Selections?


dcgall

Recommended Posts

Maybe I’m doing this wrong - but what is the point of the Snap On/Off (in upper right corner) when I still have to drop down the  snap-to options and turn things off. I would think that Snap OFF/DISABLE would disable all selected options. Someone please tell me the point of the upper right snap enable/disable. Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean.

Snapping is either on, or off, as controlled by that button.

When it's on, there are various options for how it will work, which you set using the pull-down next to that button. When it's off, those options shouldn't make any difference, as far as I know.

When you have Snapping turned off, what is happening that you need to disable further?

I’ve attached a video to illustrate my issue. In the video that I’m moving a node and it is snapping. I turn off SNAP and it continues to snap. When I select the snaping options and disable Snap to node ‘ Snap to Geometry, then the SNAP is finally disabled. Is this by design and I’m doing something wrong or my expectations are wrong?

Yes, by design. The Move tool snapping controls object snapping (toggles on/off with magnet controller top right. The Node tool (your example, has seperate node specific snapping options which are turned on/off in the node tools context menu.

Expectations? Different tools, different snapping features with different control options.
