Snapping and guides doesn't work

Hello everyone! 

The last two months I can't get my snap to work, no matter what I choose from the menu snap and guides nothing makes them working. They are active from the menu bar ,but I can't use them (Q shortcut isn't working either).

I can't draw parallel lines or snap to an element for any reason.

 

I'm I missing something besides the menu?

Hi

Load the default Archicad file and test it. We've had similar issues because configurations from previous versions were carried over.
First, make sure it works equally poorly in a native default file. Even resetting custom profiles can cause problems.

it is one of several issues:
-verify grid snap is not set

-verify snap points and snap guides are set
-try resetting your work environment

...

I have found that work environments can get corrupted or glitchy. Occasionally resetting them to their default/saved settings can fix this.
