OSNAP

Hy!

How to set up AutoCAD 2002/2004/2005 to turn OFF the OSNAP automaticly when
ZOOM/Windows command is used?

Thx,

You could define a lisp routine to use for Zoom/Windows:

(defun c:zw ()
(setvar "osmode" 0)
(command ".zoom" "w")
(princ))

This will turn off osnap, then execute a zoom/window.

This is not a good suggestion. I'd suggest to set the systemvariable
OSNAPCOORDS to 1 or to 2 (it must not be 0).

.... and it would be nice to restore the original osnap after finishing the command:

(defun c:zw ()
(setq os (getvar "osmode"))
(setvar "osmode" 0)
(command ".zoom" "w" pause pause)
(princ "\ntet")
(setvar "osmode" os))

 

When did they start that variable?

 

Ok, I stand corrected. I mean OSNAPCOORD - this is known since Rel. 14
;-)
Sorry for the confusion

I *wasn't* correcting you Juergen. I had never heard of either of them
before ; )

 

May be you know this:
Preferences | User Preferences | Priority for coordinate Data Entry
(Running object snap or Keyboard entry or Keyboard entry except
scripts). This is another way to set OSNAPCOORD to 0, 1 or 2.

The variable just set "by its self", my custmer said. ;-)

THX, for help!
