osnap function

does anyone know a way for autocad to recognize osnap from model space to
paper space? if i draw a line in paper space, then want to draw a lline in
model space at the end point of the first line, it doesn't seem to recognize
the osnap.. is there an option for this that i don't know of?

please reply....

 

it is possible (though I don't know the setting)..

works out of the box here (vanil 2K5)

 

maybe no can do. only the other way around will work. i.e., if your line is in model space and i want to snap to its endpoint in paper space.

if u have version 2004 or up, there is a command CHSPACE you can try. In addition, i remember Tony T. posted routine to convert coordinates between paper space and modelspace in a pviewport.

 

I think cindee was just confusing the 2 spaces when she posted..
naturally the first line would have to be drawn in model space, then the
second in paper space (if done visa-versa there would be nothing to snap
to.. and thus no chance for cad to not recognize a snap point)..

but I could be wrong.. or not..
