Why can i not snap to anything when moving an object

Who at Apple hurt you?

Not Loathing the community forums anymore

JensCapeTown ? I would never, ever, consider using a Mac. I appreciate value and I can not find any in Mac. I could never support a company that has elitism and arrogance as the entirety of it’s marketing approach and corporate identity. Thanks for the random suggestion though?

@Locis

Without a doubt they are the reason everything is overpriced and underperforming. It was founded on and persists because of intentional dysfunction, arrogance and greed.

Yeah. Well, completely ignorant, but you do you.

I’ll see myself out of this thread now. Good luck.

[Locis]

They are on. And i just remade the object and now it behaves and follows the axis.

It was not the updates because it still happened after updating, then worked after remaking it.

So annoying.

I would rather have a program that worked than one with overdesigned functions that require hacking.

That fact that the admins use Apple is a joke and is a direct insult to the thinking community that is not a slave to the fascists at Apple. I will always choose OpenSource and universal compatibility over proprietary software and hardware even if it means less performance, because universal compatibility is the most important thing to preserve. How do you justify the arrogance of kowtowing to Apple and expecting your users to make the same mistake?

Sorry about mentioning Apple. I didn’t mean this to become an OS war thread. I’m outta here too.

I can’t easily tell how Apple got into the discussion. The majority of developers are using PCs, and some features only work on Windows.

I am the culprit. Made a joke about Apple.

who pissed in your coffee ? take a deep breath, nobody is forcing you to buy a mac, in truth, most of the mac users don’t care about your opinion of their machines. We’re giving you advice based on your description of the issue.

It does not even keep the object with the cursor and instead sends it off into illogical directions far away from the cursor. Why would that ever be allowed?

could you give us a screen recording maybe ? because I’m not clear on what’s going on

I see you haven’t provided a file. could you? so we can see if it’s file related and probably rule it out ?

@Locis

Why would there be a difference between installing as an an administrator?

in some rare cases, people have their windows configured in a way that when they install stuff, they don’t have 100% of the admin rights enabled. because of that, some preferences can’t write themselves properly on disk. I’ll theorise it’s a vestige of the old free google era, but I can’t prove it.

@Locis

If it will not work without hacking it does not work and should be improved and corrected.

well, that’s windows for you. windows updates don’t install ALL the drivers updates. you should install the Nvdia app for that, best way to be sure. and windows sometimes changes authorisations on stuff.
We’re not suggesting some haking. we’re suggesting proper IT techniques.

It will also not constrain to an axis after clicing the right arrow for the red axis. I tried changing the perspective and it did not help. It does not even keep the object with the cursor and instead sends it off into illogical directions far away from the cursor.

Is the object you are trying to move in place by any chance “glued to” some face?

[Wo3Dan]

@Locis

Now the red constraint shows the tracking dots but does not actually constrain it to the axis.

This sounds like an object being glued to some face. (or small chance: a DC).

I dislike Apple so much I’ve gone bananas!

In the 1980s there was a cartoon showing a computer exhibition, and in the background were a number of computer company booths, all with fruity names. Back then there was Pear, Tangerine, Apricot, Acorn, Blackberry, and of course Apple. In the foreground were two Apple staff, with one saying to the other: “We wouldn’t have had this problem if we had called it the Stewed Prune II!”
