I do not think I understand but I sometimes use shift + right-click and the letter of snap I want
He is talking about Grid Snap, not Object Snap (OSNAP) modes.

That is correct.

I remember reading that that there is a variable setting for this.  But I will be damm if I can find it.

It's not looking good:

Subtle Snap Enhancement in AutoCAD 2012

If you’re like me, SNAPMODE is one of those tools that you love to hate. Most times I don’t need it because I use Osnaps and direct distance entry to draw accurately. But sometimes being constrained to grid increments can come in handy. A subtle change to Snap behavior in AutoCAD 2012 lets you work more easily with Snaps turned on. Now, it only snaps to grid points when prompting to specify a point. So, for example, when you’re moving the cursor around the drawing area trying to select an object before a command is launched, grid snaps are ignored (no more having the cursor tease you as it jumps back and forth over the object)! But when you’re in a command that requires you to specify a point, such as drawing a line, grid snaps are honored.

Might have been mentioned in the BETA forum as something for the first SP.

No I read the same article that RenderMan posted.  I confused the article with coming from Kate Morrical's blog.  I forgot it was Hedi Hewett's blog

Service Pack 1 corrected the *snap* issue:

Quote from: Jeff_M on September 07, 2011, 02:14:18 PM
Bunches of bug fixes, 2 new Sysvars that some will really appreciate:

ARRAYCLASSIC - Creates copies of objects in a classic array.
SNAPGRIDLEGACY -  0 - Always snap the cursor to grid. 1 - Only snap cursor to grid when AutoCAD prompts to specify a point

I love this command line autocomplete feature in 2012.

There is a command called "ETBUG"  and it does phone home.  :-D

I used up my 30 day trial already, but am anxiously awaiting my new work laptop (being setup by IT now), which is coming with Civil 3D 2012.  :lol:

Plus Commands in AutoCAD2012

Autodesk has expanded the way commands work by having users type a + in front of the command.  For example, if you type +OPTIONS, you enter an integer.  +SaveAs allows you to save to different file formats in addition to a new file name.
 
To get the list of all the new + commands, simply type + in the display window and the new Autofill will display all the commands.
 
As to how useful this is, well, it isn't a minus.
