Using object snap with different z-values

[Siberian]

Visualize looking at the x-y plane. Is it possible to draw a line towards another object using object snap, but so that the z-value of the drawn line is kept constant, regardless of the z-value of the that it was snapped to?

usually PLINE assumed the z-value of the initial point that it is drawn from, regardless of the z-value it is drawn to.
not sure if that is what you asked, but that is my interpretation of it.

Does 2007 have the OSNAPZ system variable?

Indeed it does

And OSNAPZ did indeed solve my problems. Thx guys.

:?

I was just having a look at and playing with the OSNAPZ and was thinking how neat that was. Then I saw this thread and thought here was someone needing OSNAPZ.

Alas, I was slow posting and the answer was already given.:(

Now I am off to play with other "new to me" stuff, I might even get some work done in the process. :D

Is there a way to snap to objects that have a different z value?

Yes it is possible. As long as OSNAPZ is set to 0.
