Way to toggle between endpoints/dim lines?

[Mason Dixon]

Sometimes when I'm drawing a line into a bunch of endpoints and dim lines its hard to find the right endpoint for that line.....instead of righ clicking and selecting snap override, is there a keyboard button that will quickly allow me to toggle the orange possible endpoints for the line I'm drawing?

You do realize that you can use the zoom command transparently during another command don't you? Zoom in a little tighter on the area you're working in and make your pick.

Just because I could

 

(defun c:dtog nil
 (vl-load-com)

 (vla-StartUndoMark
   (cond (*doc*) ((setq *doc* (vla-get-ActiveDocument
                                (vlax-get-acad-object))))))

 (vlax-for obj (vla-get-Block (vla-get-ActiveLayout *doc*))
                 
   (if (vl-position
         (vla-get-ObjectName obj)
         '("AcDbRotatedDimension" "AcDb2LineAngularDimension"
           "AcDbAlignedDimension" "AcDb3PointAngularDimension" "AcDbArcDimension"))
     
     (mapcar
       (function
         (lambda (x)
           (vlax-put-property obj x
             (if (eq :vlax-true (vlax-get-property obj x)) :vlax-false :vlax-true))))
       
       '(ExtLine1Suppress ExtLine2Suppress))))

 (vla-EndUndoMark *doc*)
 (princ))

Hi Lee,

Do you work in the architorture field? or any other one related with drafting/CD production? or something like that...

Hey Luis,

 

I'm a student studying a Maths Degree at university (second year at the moment) - I spent 1 year in a drawing office after my A-levels and got hooked on LISP... hence sometimes I see the problems from a purely programming perspective...

The tab button will cycle you through available snaps for your cursor position.
