Topic: AutoSnap Magnet

[Russ]

I would like to change the Autosnap magnet snap distance. Is there a variable for setting the magnet strength/distance? Thanks in advance.

[Kate M]

I believe you are looking for the APERTURE.

From the AutoCad 2002 Help file:

Magnet

Turns the AutoSnap magnet on or off. The magnet is an automatic movement of the crosshairs that locks the crosshairs onto the nearest snap point. You can also set this option by using the AUTOSNAP system variable.
