    Osnap Mouse Button

    91 Views, 3 Replies

    I've posted this in the AutoCAD.customization
    group, but still wanted to know if anyone has their mouse to have an osnap
    button programmed to pop up? If so, what is the direction to get it keyed
    in?

     

    Thanks,

    I have used that exact code in versions other than
    Civil 3D. F12 is now used to toggle on Dynamic, so that takes this option
    out.

    Any other suggestions would be greatly
    appreciated.

    just follow the same setup but instead of F12 use
    cntl-I or one of the other cntl-* keys that are not pre-defined


    style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
