Tentative Snap

I have the same problem. AccuSnap is active, intersection snap, too, but when placing a tentative snap it's just on either of the lines somewhere near the intersection. Am I missing some important step?

When you say "Tentative Snap" do you mean an actual manual snap with the mouse buttons, or just the automatic Accusnap?

An actual manual Intersection snap is really looking for two elements to intersect, so it takes two tentative clicks (one for each element). While this can be annoying when the elements are obviously crossing each other, it's awesome for finding "projected" intersections, of elements that don't actually cross.

Hi Mary, I'm talking about the right/left mouse button click.

Thanks for the hint to the two tentative clicks, I wasn't aware of having to click on both elements to find the intersection. I don't think I needed this back in the days when fences were drawn for printing with tentative clicks.

Thanks for all your great tips and tricks :-)
