Ortho with Between OSnap

It would be nice if I could use ortho while trying to pick my first point when using the between OSnap.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam - you can, if you use From first - does that do it?

-Pascal

Huh, seems like an odd choice, but yeah, I can macro it.

Thanks,
Sam

Yeah - Ortho needs some base point to work from, is the thing I guess.

-Pascal

Perhaps it just my usage of it, but every command I typically use it with it already has a base point. Move for instance, select object, select from point, on the to point use between, can’t use ortho even though my base point is still being drawn.

Hi Sam - yes, and I bet the GetPoint() used in Between can probably be persuaded to use that as a base point - but currently, as far as Move is concerned, Between is starting a brand new GetPoint() (I am not looking at code but that is what I assume) that knows nothing about the suspended Move operation.

I do not know how hard it would be to tie these together but it may be worth investigating… I’ll ask Mikko.
