| Summary | 0001078: Snap Center Point at Center of Cylinder, Circle | ||||
| Description | When following the tutorial at http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Engine_Block_Tutorial in paragraph "Cutting Down the Excess Billet Material from the Block", I can't get FreeCAD to snap the Regular Polygon center to the center of the cylinder while holding down the CTRL button. It should snap at x:40, y:0. I tried this with a new circle in a new document where it did not work, either. Not sure what the specifications are so I am guessing it is a new feature. | ||||

It is normal that the center of a regular polygon cannot be snapped (but it is a good idea, I'll keep this open to add that feature) But snapping to the center of circle-based objects (Draft circles, cylinders, etc) works normally for me. |

Perhaps we misunderstand each other. The tutorial asks to snap the center of the polygon to the center of an existing cylinder. In case of the tutorial the existing cylinder is that of the engine, and the new polygon to be drawn at the center of the cylinder is a construction object. As this does not currently work in the version I have, I tried to draw a circle and snap it to the center of the cylinder as well. But that does not work for me either. I just attach the file that I made from the tutorial at this stage. |

With commit 33faa40, those 2 issues are fixed. Snapping now works with centers of polygons and cylinders. |
