Topic: The name game :: Object Snaps

[JohnK]

The object of this game is to list everything you know about the subject. Every post has to something different then what was previously listed or it can be labeled as "Duplicate entry!" in bold red letters (If no one notices that it was a duplicate entry, don't tell anyone). After the subject is exhausted, we will add up the duplicate entries and see who has the fewest.

Entries do not have to be limited to general knowledge or specific language problems, they can be anything you have discovered throughout your experiences or research.

You can use the TAB key to cycle through available object snaps.

[CAB]

You can enter a snap over ride at the command line during a command.

Like this:

Code: [Select]

Command: line
Specify first point: mid
of
Specify next point or [Undo]: end

[Arizona]

Setting the system variable osmode to 0 will turn off osnaps.
F3 is the toggle

[Lin-Z]

you can use them inside the CAL command such as using osnaps to add a distance to a formula

[Chuck Gabriel]

Running osnaps can foul up the behavior of some lisp routines.  However, if you change the osnap settings in a program to avoid this, it's good manners to put them back the way you found them when you're done.

[MikePerry]

You can turn OFF OSnap functionality for Hatch Patterns with OSnapHatch ( AutoCAD 2005 or above ).

[ronjonp]

You can type in 'OS during a command to set transparently.

Shift+RgtClk shows osnap POP.

[grush]

Nearest should be removed from the POP menu.
Just my $4.07.

If you miss your osnap override point, you must re-enter your override osnap before the program will snap to that point.

[whdjr]

If you type in or select the wrong snap option you can just click into empty space to null out that choice and allow for another snap option.

[David Hall]

osmode is very usefull to set osnaps quickly

[Shinyhead]

using transparent snaps on the command line with point filters can make simple macros work almost as well as full fledged lisp routines, only much smaller and simpler.

[Keith™]

osnaps can be accessed via LISP to return the appropriate osnap point even if osmode is set to 0.

[Bryco]

Non is the command line way of turning off snaps.
