osnaps defaulting to nearest

why do my osnaps default to "nearest" being the only one checked as i am
working through a drawing? It happens at various times and i always have to
go set them up again? Any ideas?
Thanks

Do you have a LISP routine that runs on start-up that changes your OSNAP
settings?

 

I am not aware of one?

 

Is your software customized at all? My guess would be a LISP is setting
your OSNAPS back to nearest. But I am not sure how you can find this w/o
going through ever LISP routine and searching for OSNAP. However you can
try to narrow down which command is changing your setting. If you have the
time, after every command you use, check your OSNAP setting to see which one
is changing them. If you happen to find it, go into your lisp routine (this
is where I am not sure what to tell you to do, either delete that part or
change it to what setting you want) I hope someone will chime in and make
this a little more clear.

 

What you can do in the mean time is make a button (as I did for this very
reason) that sets the osnap to what you want.
1. Setup you osnap like you want it.
2. type OSMODE, see what the variable is
3. make a button something like this ^C^C(setvar"osmode"31)

 

Jason I have a similar thing, but instead of looking up the OSMODE, which I
find to be a pain, my button just says this 'osnap;per,nea,end;
Also, if you dont put the ^C^C in front, it works transparently so you can
click on the button in the middle of a command.

when you notice the osnaps have changed, save your drawing and then begin
undoing one command at a time until the osnaps are restored.

check the command line history (text page) and you might see what routine
caused the change. remember to end without saving.

(if you have the time for such things)
