In the Workspace I can’t seem to find the right tools. In Model space I am also having trouble. I can’t seem to get the right tools selected, keep them selected, in the right sequence from the tool bar or the keyboard.


I have read and watched everything I could and as everyone here, I assume, has struggled with the interface, I need some HELP-PLEH.


If someone can take the time away from your creative endeavors, I would like to find a detailed step by step (slow) description of how to or a possible link to a tutorial, chapter in the manual or forum discussion.


To keep it simple from the get go please explain it using 2 cubes as a starting point then 3 then 4.


I would like to create the cubes in the workspace then move and stack the cubes by picking a corner point then snapping it to a corner point of another cube. Select a third cube and snap it to the previous 2 cubes and so forth.


I know this is simple but sometimes the simplest things can be mountains.


Also will this procedure work for all objects?

The Workspace currently only has grid and point edit snapping. There is no object to object snapping implemented yet.


Clinton made a cool little script that should do what you're looking for though.
