the perp and tangential snap is disabled when I am trying to measure distances. but they are active when I use tools to draw. any idea what is the reason for this?
thanks
Sreenath
Perp because there is a measurement method perpendicular. But no idea for tangent. Maybe due to its limitation: Note: This snap mode is only active when using the Place Arc, Place Ellipse, Place Line, Place SmartLine, or Place MultiLine tools.
Is yout accudraw ON? or CivilAccuDraw ON?
yes, it is on.
This is a normal limitation of the measure tool of Microstation. You will have to create a smartline using the snaps you need and then measure that.
