Restoring osnap settings

[xoom2]

Can anyone help me out with this poblem please?
I keep losing my osnap setting in my drawing, is there a way to restore them with one button or a command line?
Thanks,

[hendie]

set up your snaps as you want them
type osmode at the command prompt
create a custom button with your osmode value

but you'd be better out finding what "loses" them in the first place ~ do you run any custom routines ?

Can you please explain more?

There sure is...turn on whatever OSNAPS you normally use, then at the command line, type "OSMODE". You will see a line exactly like this:

Enter new value for OSMODE <255>:

The value within the <> is the value of your OSNAP combination. Each OSNAP has a certain value, and when added together, you get the OSMODE value. So to make a button to set your OSNAP's, should they get cleared from a poorly made LISP for example, would be as follows:

^C^COSMODE;255;

Just change the "255" to whatever your value is.

'OSMODE;XXX WILL WORK INSIDE ANY COMMANDS. No ^C^C AND (') INSTEAD

Good call...didn't think about using it during a command...

I'd really suggest looking into your custom routines to see which one is changing your OSMODE and not setting it back.

Use OPTIONS command

Save your settings in a PROFILE

Then reapply if it goes wonky.
