Unusal digitizing behaviour - picking up hidden layers

Question

Original User: BTLeslie

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or user error but I'm getting some unusual and unwanted digitizing behaviour.

1.  I draw a shape.
2.  Then another one adjoining it like this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]29770[/ATTACH]
3.  But when I close the shape I get this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]29771[/ATTACH]

The reason seems to be that I have some imported shapefiles that have similar geometry on a hidden layer.  i.e. the shape I drew at step 1 and the shapefile look like this when displayed together:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]29772[/ATTACH]

Obviously I can work around this - just thought I'd let you know of a possible bug.

Switch to classic snapping and only have the vertices of what you want to snap to snappable Hi,

Hi,

can you retry this with CityEngine 2013 ? 😮

this may already have been solved.

just download the TRIAL, the 2012 license still works for 2013.
