How do I (De)Activate OSNAP or ORTHO from script?

The question says it all:

 

How do I (De)Activate OSNAP or ORTHO from script?

 

I don't find a "written" way to toggle the OSNAP button, because "-osnap" only access the snapping options, but doesn't toggle it.

 

Also, If I click it manually, in the command bar I can see , but if I write this line, it doesn't seem to work.

 

Anybody?

 

You know, I have pretty much worked a Scripting database with my last 10 threads, all referring to scripting. There's a lot of unknown dark areas in this topic.

F3 - Toggle OSnaps

F8 - Toggle OrthoMode

 

Also, holding the Shift key down will temporarily toggle OrthoMode.

Thank you for your answer but it isn't quite what I need. Of course, that's well known the F3 and F8, but i need a way to do it through the command bar, so that i can run it from a script.

TOGGLE:

(setvar 'orthomode (abs (1- (getvar 'orthomode))))

OFF:

 (setvar 'orthomode 0)

Great thanks

You're welcome.

You can de-activate OSNAP by setting OSMODE to 0 at the command line.

 

But because OSNAP can be set to differing modes, you would have to check what value OSMODE was set to, so you could set it back afterwards.
