Hi!
I want to snap to the center of a circle (crossing two lines) to make a dimension line. But it is very difficult.
Do I make something wrong? Teach me, please :)

Maybe this should respect Preferences->Display->Colors->PickRadius.

Hmmm...
It seems, it does not work...
There is not any difference between 5 and 50...

That's what I meant, it does not respect the pick radius. The line thickness can well be controlled, but the pick radius seems to stay at one or two pixels.

Thanks.
I am sad...
I have some parts (bodies). And I have some drawings these parts. The drawings have a lot of dimensions. I should alter my parts and drawings too.
Topic's problem and face changing kill me...
I am very very sad :(

For now you can try a screen magnifier. I have a different Linux distro, but I'm sure there is one available for your system too.

Didn't know about this preference. We do something similar for Edges, maybe CenterMarks won't be too different.

Hmmm... what did You mean? Did You mean to increase a scale with a mouse wheel (zoom in) or something else? Did You mean special facilities?
