The last two times I've tried to define a point by northing easting, I tentative snap to a point but the point returned is a few feet (up to a 100 or so feet) away at what appears to be a random location. The random location is the same every time i snap to the point I'm trying to define. The first time this occurred, I was trying to create cogo points. Using define by station/offset worked, so I was able to create the points. A day later, I'm trying to Edit Horizontal Alignment and the same thing happens when using define by N/E - I tentative snap to point but what inroads returns is not the correct location.
I'm using Inroads V8i SS2
Any ideas what my issue is?
Jeff:
Are you sure that you are in a Top View?

Hi Mark - Both these instances occurred in two different dgns and both 2D models. Top View is not applicable in 2D models, correct?
Ahhh...
I had this happen many years back in exactly the manner you have described, but for the life of me I forgot what was going on or how it was resolved. It has been a while since I used SS2, but have you checked your InRoads locks? The only other thing I can think of is the "get out of the drawing and reboot" scenario.
Make sure the Snap Lock is toggled to No Snap... not Point Snap or Element Snap.
Thank you, thank you! I must have accidentally changed this setting as this was the issue.
Didn't know about this lock, and don't really understand what it does, but I know now to keep it set to No Snap.
