Verify that Otrack, Polar, and Osnap are on, and that only the Midpoint osnap is selected.
TIP:
Use object snap tracking to track along alignment paths that are based on object snap points. Acquired points
display a small plus sign (+), and you can acquire up to seven tracking points at a time. After you acquire a point, horizontal,
vertical, or polar alignment paths relative to the point are displayed as you move the cursor over their drawing paths.
For example, you can select a point along a path based on an object endpoint or midpoint or an intersection between
objects.
