Please confirm: one cannot snap to a component's origin

Search doesn't conclude (dead or irrelevant links) but seems to confirm in result snips that one cannot snap to a component's origin if it is not coincident with some typically snappable entity.

Solution: place the component on a snappable entity and work from there; perhaps add one the a snappable entity to the component, either a guide or a point or a variously hidden entity.

Yes, you are right.

Thanks.

I could find no source for your wonderful byline. Are you a writer of pleasing and instructive, philosophically leaning aphorisms?

If you mean the quote in my sig, here is some deeper insight:

Those names (P. HOWARD(Jenő Rejtő)) did turn up in my search but I did not know what to make of them, paired as they were without explanation, etc..

Thanks for the clarification. For me your naked quote speaks more eloquently than all the rest written in their stead, but that sounds a bit tedious as well.

Cheers.

That's one of a hell "yellow-back" novel (as well as most of his) but since they are rarely translated to any languages (not as if most of them couldbe translated), they will always remain a secret common language between Hungarians...)
