Onsap - center

It is very very annoying.

I guess my own example was my enemy…

Wish / proposal : ArcCen OSnap

When I try to snap to a border of a planar face, Rhino keeps jumping to its center ( from the Cen OSnap ), but what I’m usually trying to do is simply snapping to the edge ( Near OSnap ) I can turn off the Cen OSnap, but by doing that I loose the ability to snap to arcs centers, thing that I often have to do also. I think that an ‘Arc Center’ OSnap might solve this problem (turning off the C…

Oh man, tobias, thanks. I searched for this but didn’t find that. Glad its already in the works, hopefully. Cause the way it is currently is a disaster.
