    Angry Tangent snaps

    HI all me again. I rely on snaps alot when I draw. ok it should be in there and i can not find it but is snapping to a tangent of a circle in bobcad, if so how is it done.

    I finally got the install cd yesterday and reinstalled and I did load one of the solid works file i was tring to load. so thanks for all the help so far.

    Up on the menu.....

    LINES

    drop down and choose

    TANGENT

    There is a TRIM button that will automagicly cut the entities at the point of tangency for you as well.

    It works great circle to circle tangent lines, end of a line to circle tangent but it does not recognize the mid point of a line.

    On the circle to circle tangent lines it recognizes inner or outer tangent points..... an "X" between the circles or a "V" to the outside of the circles depending on where you click on the dia for the approximate point of tangency.

    Thanks Mike
    I will have to go play with that when I get home.

    I am one that just got 23 because I did not like 22 and told them sothey gave me a good deal on 23 but I do think it is my last one. But I am starting to get used to strange way but it is though trying to keep the one at work straight with the one at home.
