OSNAP

Hy!
How to set up AutoCAD 2002/2004/2005 to turn OFF the OSNAP automaticly when ZOOM/Windows command is used?
Thx, Uros LESJAK, SI-Europe.

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.

when

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

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!

automaticly

... 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))
