[daron]

what does this: ID_OsnapMidpt [&Apparent Midpoint]_midpt ********** mean? All the stars? Is it just your way of highlighting your issue?

Might this help:ID_OsnapMidpt [&Apparent Midpoint]_non;'cal (cur + cur)/2; ?

[ELOQUINTET]

yeah that's the new snap daron should've said that. so how's it look aside from the stars. it is recognized but the midpoint between 2 points snap isn't working like it does from my toolbar

[daron]

Mybe you need to wrap your cal function in parenthesis and define what cur means?

[ronjonp]

Try this:

ID_OsnapEndp   [&Endpoint]_endp
ID_OsnapMidp   [&Midpoint]_mid
ID_OsnapMidpt  [&Apparent Midpoint]_non;'cal (cur + cur)/2;
ID_OsnapInte   [&Intersection]_int
ID_OsnapAppa   [&Apparent Intersect]_appint
ID_OsnapExte   [E&xtension]_ext

Is this what you want?

[daron]

I gave him that. He said it didn't work.

[ronjonp]

Works for me

Alright, Dan...If you're at the point where you'll listen to me, make sure you save a copy of your menu files somewhere else as a backup.    

Here's mine:

// menus.

ID_OsnapNone [&None]_non
             [--]

I also have my BTWN lisp loaded in my Startup Suite.  Mine works flawlessly.  Take that advice for what it's worth...

Take Care,
Mike
