Rotated Grid

Thomas Allan Palmer — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 07:11:16 GMT

Is there a way I can stop ArchiCAD from snapping to non-rotated grid.

(I have a rotated grid that is about 1 degree off of the normal setting. My mouse constraints always want to snap to the non-rotated grid so I have to constantly watch to make sure things don't go askew.

Either you use your 'ortogonal grid' or your 'rotated grid'.
When you use your 'rotated grid' you shouldn't use mouse constraints because then you're drawing a staight line occording to your 'orthogonal grid'.

Have a look in your Work Environment > Mouse Constraints and Methods.
Try turning off the Horizontal-Vertical lock.
And make sure Horizontal-Vertical to Rotated grid is on.
