Snap to Intersection

Post by sugi_84 »

What is the point of the current setting for snap to intersection (objects). Under what conditions/objects does it operate? Currently, at least for my settings, overlapping annotations (line/polyline) will not result in a snap grip. I'm working with linework on a plan where end, edge, and midpoint, typically work, but I have never been able to get the intersection functionality to work. It'd be nice if I could overlap annotation lines (like to find an apparent vertex) and I could snap to that intersection.

Hello sugi_84,

Welcome to our forums!
I also tried to make it work, but am not sure under what circumstances would the intersection snapping trigger, so I've asked our devs and am now awaiting their feedback. We will post an update here as soon as it becomes available.

p.s. Our devs asked me to make a ticket for this, as it seems like snapping to intersections is not currently implemented:
#7390: Editor: Implement snap to intersections

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello PDF-XChange-Team/Devs,

Is now - one year later - 'snap to intersection' already implemented? Or still a dummy in the snapping configuration/settings for confusing users like me :) ?

I tried it with annotation lines an embedded lines and different snapping setting combinations :arrow: no snapping at all at intersection points (PDF XChange Editor Plus V 10.8.5, build 410)

Kind regards

Schmidt

+1 for this feature request.

I’ve frequently found myself needing 'Snap to Intersection' when trying to quickly align elements on a page.

It would be an awesome addition to the already great snapping functionality.
