    Default Error with OSNAP

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi!

    A wee problem with OSNAP here. I can't seem to get OSNAP settings on. Error message "Unable to set variable: SNAPUNIT" comes up every time I click on the OK button.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Seems like OSMODE does the same thing as the OSNAP command, but in a non-graphical way. Am I right?

    The thing is now, OSNAP command still gives the same error message. Changing OSMODE value would select/deselect certain snap modes, but I can't do it graphically through the OSNAP dialogue window.. which is a bit annoying.

    When you go into the OSNAP dialog box, under the "Snap & Grid," what are your Snap X spacing and Snap Y spacing set to?

    Hmmm... all seem to be set to 0...

    Aaaah! Doh! Now that I've set the spacing to 10 everything works. Hmmm... one last question though; how did it get set to 0 to begin with?
