[ Solved: works for Draft_Snap_Grid ] SnapRange has no effect?

I agree, perhaps we could try to detect the setting when the command is activated...

Hi there, I am finding it difficult to make anything snap to anything. If the start of the line snaps to something, the other end won't. I have looked for help and the Wiki site suggests that there is an option called snapRange. I have just downloaded the programme and can't find snapRange anywhere. I also can't find a command line similar to the one on AutoCAD, which I have been using for more than 25 years. If you have any answers to these two issues I would be delighted to hear them.
Thank you.

can't find snapRange anywhere

SnapRange is mentioned on 1 page in the wiki (Draft_Snap). On the same page there are instructions on how to change it. But as already mentioned in this topic: the setting appears to have no effect.

Regarding your snapping issue: You should only activate the snaps you actually need. The Near snap should almost always be switched off.

FreeCAD does not have a command line. It does have a Report view and a Python console.

I have found one snap where the SnapRange does have an effect: Draft_Snap_Grid.
