I have a block library specifically for lighting plans. I use Design Center to manage all my blocks. Let's say we want to place a single switch next to a door opening into a room. Once you set Nearest as your osnap it will only use that osnap, and it will be on all the time. Right-Click on Osnap, then select Settings. The quickest way to the Osnap settings is from your Status bar at the bottom of your screen. Nearest gives you the most flexibility in accruately placing blocks where you want them, not on some geometric point on an object.įirst, set the Running Osnap to Nearest, for this task I uncheck all the other settings because they just get in the way. The Nearest osnap setting lets you place a block onto a object with a perfect connection, but let's you pick it's exact location.
If you haven't used the Nearest osnap setting very often, this free CAD tutorial is a great place to use it.
This is a quick and simple tutorial on placing lighting plan symbols in your AutoCAD drawings, so let's get started!
