We have been using inroads for years and we've noticed in the latest version of inroads (ss2) something is broke when snapping. You can't snap to elements when doing vertical or horizontal alignments. It snaps quickly and then goes back. I've tried element lock and snap lock on and off and it doesn't change this behavior. Every once and a while it will work correctly but only if you go out of MS and go back in.
MS08.11.07.443 Inroads08.11.07.428
Anyone else see this?
Any resolution to this?
I am having the EXACT same problem.
Using InRoads XM V08.09.03.06
I have some news.
Our investigation determined that this Accusnap problem cannot be resolved in a fixes release. Too many adjacent areas are impacted and it is not feasible for the InRoads V8i SS2 Refresh due out at the end of March.
Please use the MicroStation tentative button snap functionality for your design workflows.

Thanks for the update Mike!
However, I am not using Accusnap when I try to snap to an element in the vertical alignment. For example, I have a line that represents a surface that I am trying to snap to. I am using the "Move Vertical PI" command and then snapping to a line in the profile (using MS keypoint snap enabled). The problem is the same as noted above "snaps quickly but goes back".
I could never get the InRoads snap to work right either. I just keep my InRoads snap off and use the regular Microstation snap(s). When snapping to something in InRoads, use the Shift + Ctrl keys.
I'm having the same problem today. Even the Shift+Ctrl isn't working. When I tentative it snap for about .001 seconds, and when I use shift+ctrl it snaps, but when I accept it puts the point where my cursor is. I'm adding PIs to a horizontal, and the first point will snap, but none of the rest will.
