Problem

Although AccuSnap is enabled, snapping the cursor does not work when placing a fence.

Solution

Both solution options listed below can work in v8i & CONNECT versions of MicroStation.

Option 1: Temporary setting:

Active the Place Fence tool, then press and hold the CTRL+ SHIFT keys at the same time, then place the fence.
You can release the keys after finishing the fence placement.
This will not permanently affect AccuSnap settings.

Option 2: Adjust AccuSnap settings

In MicroStation v8i, navigate to Settings menu > Snaps > AccuSnap

In CONNECT, click the dialog launcher contained in Drawing workflow > Drawing Aids tab> Snaps Ribbon Group

Alternatively, in v8i, you can select the AccuSnap icon in the status bar then click AccuSnap:

then select the General tab > and toggle ON Enable For Fence Create then exit the dialog.

Similarly, in CONNECT, select the Snaps icon at the bottom of the interface and click on the dialog launcher:

Then toggle ON Enable For Fence Create and then exit the dialog.

Be sure to save settings (CTRL+f) to keep these changes for future sessions of MicroStation.
