Before using Cap, make sure to set AutoCAD OSNAP settings to Node and to toggle ORTHO on.
-
Right-click on the Object Snap icon
at the bottom of the AutoCAD window and select Settings.
-
Make sure that the ONLY object snap mode checked is Node. Cap is designed to utilize Node snapping. While occasionally other types of snapping are required to complete a layout, you can turn on those other snap nodes as needed. By limiting your snap node to node only, you limit the possibility of incorrectly snapping parts together.
-
Make sure that the Ortho Mode
is also on. In Ortho Mode mode, cursor movement is constrained to the horizontal or vertical axis. Note that in some instances you might need to turn Ortho Mode off.
Note: More information about Object Snap and Ortho Mode is available within AutoCAD’s help system.
