I have encountered a reproducible snapping problem in all versions of SharkCAD.

After removing the original curves used to create the surfaces, snapping to the actual surface edges initially works correctly. In particular, vertices/corner points and midpoints of the outer boundary edges are detected correctly.

However, as soon as the view is changed — for example by using Dynamic View Rotation — these snap points stop working.

The main problem is that SharkCAD no longer detects the vertices/corner points and midpoints of the surface edges after the view has been changed.

The behavior is reproducible for me:

1. Open the CAD file.
2. Vertices/corner points and midpoints of the surface edges are detected correctly.
3. Change the view orientation or use Dynamic View Rotation.
4. Vertices/corner points and midpoints are no longer found by the snap system.

This appears to affect all versions.

It is possible that this is somehow related to my Windows installation or graphics configuration, so I would be interested to know whether anyone else can reproduce it.

Seems to work OK on Shark Pro Ver.12 PC.Win 11 I only use surfaces to split solids, so someone more
qualified might give a more detailed report. I just made a simple object, and a cover surface.
I do always get a warning when I delete the curves, sometimes the curves cause problems, especially
when moving.

That happens to me often, seems related to some screen or zoom refresh, screen resize or work plane refresh, (guessing is a screen rendering bug)

Also happen if you change to another software window, and back to Shark the objects in window are nat detectes, or even shortcut commands, (as if your are on another software but the UI from shark is displayed), so clicked back an fort the curso iconos, resizing the wined to maximizer or selection of global workplace fix it, some times, the snaps are even detected way out of the lines or corners displayed on screen

I have never seen anything like that, and it may have less to do with the problem I described, because lines and solids are not affected by the problem in my case. I have also never seen snap points outside the objects, and I switch back and forth between windows very frequently.
