Annotation in schedule - Grid Snap

[Yvonne]

Grid snap keeps turning on when I go into annotate in a schedule - how do I turn this off?

If you mean the actual grid snap where the cursor only snaps to grid positions (there is a little black dot that follows your cursor) - that shortcut is SHIFT+S will cycle through the 3 snap options, ALT+S is on/off.

If you mean the grey grid lines in the background then SHIFT+G turns them on/off.

Yes I meant the actual grid snap. I would have it turned off then when I go into annotate an elevation in a schedule it automatically turns on. Is there a way to have it not default to turning on?

I have never noticed the grid snap turning itself on, but then I rarely annotate in schedules.

I have noticed the grid lines turning themselves on in schedules, details, or when editing GDL, etc. Even sometimes when creating a new elevation.

I definitely always have the grid lines turned off and they do turn themselves on, and I know no way to stop it.

Maybe the 2 issues are related.

All I can suggest is be sure you are not accidentally pressing the keyboard shortcut, and have that toolbar handy so you can switch it off easily (or use the shortcut).

I have noticed the grid lines turning on as well but that doesn't bother me as much as the grid snap 😅  Thanks for the tip - I've got a shortcut for it so I can turn it off easily.
