Same here. I notice on one forum (no names) someone re****ted losing entity

snaps, which has been a problem in a couple of versions. That was Nov 6
and 
not even a comment has been made except by a couple of other users with
the 
same problem. With Bricscad the same problem was re****ted, acknowledged
and 
fixed in probably less time than that. I don't have any gripes with
Bricscad 
at all. Full time drafting for the past 30 years, CAD for the past 20,
self 
employed for the past 10.
