style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If you have a mouse with
side buttons and would like to make one of these side buttons pop-up
your OSNAP menu (instead of having to hold down the SHIFT key and
right-click) try this:
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">First go
to the Windows Control Panel, double-click the mouse settings icon.
If you have the correct mouse driver installed, you should be able
to assign functions to every button on your mouse. Assign the button
that you would like to use for OSNAPS as F12 ( since this funciton
key is not used for anything else ).
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Open
AutoCAD and go to the Tools pulldown menu, choose Customize, then
Toolbars.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">On the
Commands tab, click User-defined. On the top right, drag and drop a
User-Defined Button out of the dialog box. This just made a new
button and toolbar.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Right-click
on the new button and choose Properties.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Name the
button something, like OSNAPS. Look for ^C^C in the Macro text
field, and type
class=moduletextlarge1>
style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">$p0=SNAP $p0=*
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">or cut and
paste that from the Acad.mns file.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The string
should look like the following:
class=moduletextlarge1>
style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">^C^C$p0=SNAP $p0=*
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Select the
Close button. Next, go to the Tools pulldown menu, choose Customize
--Keyboard. Under Categories look for Toolbar1 Toolbar. If you have
the right toolbar it should say OSNAPS under Commands. To the right
under Press new shortcut key: pick the F12 button. Click the Assign
button, Close, and try it.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The method
above will also allow you to assign a Diesel macro function to your
mouse buttons.
