How do you use OSNAPS?
« Reply #30 on: February 22, 2005, 08:01:02 AM »
I have my osmode set at 255. I use an array of different methods to get what I need sometimes. I use the tab button, short cut menu and control button. I have created a few simple shortcuts that let me get to the command I want. I use "LM" which is line;midpoint. I also have a few others like "LE", "LC" and so forth.

So few of you use the cen osnap that I can only assume that most of you are flat-worlders (2D) or architectural (everything's a flippin BOX to them!)  I'd be lost in a piping development without it...........CADaver, you feel the same?
And quadrant as well, how else would you find the BOP elev.  or the Invert Elev.  I use CENter quite a lot, but spending a lot of time in the structural end of things, I probably use QUA a lot more.

I guess if it did, we'd never know it was there.  It's only when something is broken, we seek a solution, right? :blink:

I use running snaps pretty much alla time.  If the snaps are selecting wrong, I just roll the wheel which zooms me in or out.  I also have one row of keys on my Nos setup with my fav snaps.  

As for a choice in the poll of "I don't use O'Snaps", that's the sign of a non-cad operator.   That should be a crime punishable by having to listen to 8 hours of RoseAnne singing show tunes.

I've also got a short lisp routine I wrote to reset my fav o'snaps because it seems there are some lisp routines I use that always reset them to something else and don't put them back as they were.. GRRRrrr....

Funny you mention that, PDJ. The garbage add-on I'm forced to use currently, totally wrecks my osnap settings always. Just the other day, I wrote a vba event that flips 6175 back on whenever a lisp in started and ended. Problem solved.

Different stroke different folks.  But I use accelerator keys for my osnaps.  I usuall have control 1 be cen inter. and or control 2 is like end and midpoint.  I think when I am working with my right hand on the mouse I use the left hand for accelerator keys and such.

Like me Ive learnt to let them run and then zoom in and out for the snap I want.After seeing the other methods of selecting your OSNAPS I wondered if I was if I was using them incorrectly and was curious to see others methods, so I posted the the poll.Appears theres two other membsr who work like me:)

CAB....
Funny you should mention the osnaps on your N52.... I had them there for a while but there were so many other things I wanted to run from it that I gave up.  Now all four modes are full and I'm thinking of buying another one .....  :horror: maybe for my foot or sumpin' ?......... :roll:

Must be terrible gettin old.. I'm the one what mentioned the Nos T-Bear..

I was lookin at a thing that fits over your hand with fingers and all.. My wife was like "You don't need that, you don't play games anymore!" and I told her I was lookin at it for AutoCad work.. Now, have that glove on your hand with commands built into the finger movements and combing that with the Nos pad...  That could get crazy...
