Every now and again, when i enter a command OSNAP turns itself off and when i try to reactivate it (F3 etc) the drafting settings dialog appears and all Snap Modes are unticked.
If anyone can help me out with this that would be great, thanks

You're going to have to do some detective work and figure out which command is turning them off. No doubt it's a custom lisp routine that's doing this.

Are you running any lisp routines before this happens?

If you are semi-familiar with lisp, here is some code you can use to alert you when a system variable has changed.

No not running any custom lisps before it happens.
Commands i can remember it happened during are MOVE, COPYBASE and PLINE

Thanks for the link, this is a very handy lisp to have, although i can usually see when it happens. Now iv just got to wait for it to happen.

Are you running any custom lisp routines at all? :unsure:
It has to be happening before you run those commands.
What lisp routines do you use? Something is setting your OSMODE variable to 0 and then not restoring it.

I guess that's one way to fix a problem. Just upgrade the acad version. :twisted: o:)
