Hi, I have the following draft drawing. The next step is to draw an arc with the radius starting where the two arcs at the bottom cross. Snap intersection doesn't do this, the snap intersect symbol appears, but the end of one or the other arc is highlighted with the white dot. Any ideas how to fix this? I've successfully used snap intersection on other lines. Is there a setting I can change?
That's interesting. It appears the Placement of the arcs is damaged somehow.
If you modify the Placement of both arcs once and back to the original value (e.g. set the Placement's Z-Position from 5 to 0 and back on both in the Data tab), the intersection snap works again. I assume regenerating the Placement matrix fixes the issue.
Would be interesting to know how you managed to create that situation initially. Did you do a FreeCAD upgrade lately?
Thank you all for checking that. Yes, changing the z position of each line and then back again fixes the issue. I also tried with normal line construction and the same problem occurs, so it's not that they're construction lines. If I draw two arcs that have a bigger crossover angle the snap works, but obviously that isn't helpful for my particular drawing case, but maybe helps narrow the problem. I thought I'd installed the 0.20 release version, but looking again it seems to be version 0.21.

Could it be your last upgrade was in between, i.e. is it possible that you created the arcs in an earlier version and attempted the point snap in the later version?

Hi Marcus, no, I just started the drawing yesterday evening. In any case, your discovery gets around the problem.
Just purely the visual cursor bug with snapping in general was triggered at Git Revision 0.21.29715 on the master branch so any build before that will be OK with regard to that. I've asked Werner to give me some pointers on how to revert the commit in whole or part to fix the regression. Other bugs in the create of the geometry I can't comment on.
