Save and restore osnap preferences

[davidgarner]

I can't figure out how to save and/or restore osnap preferences. As well as dynamically turn snaps on and off.


I've found the osnapmasks enumeration, but I can't find any methods or properties that use these masks in the Object Browser. Am I missing something? Any hints on where I should be looking?

look at
GetSystemVariable("OSMODE")
SetSystemVariable("OSMODE" , val)

Perfect, that's it. I overlooked the OSMODE variable thinking it had to do with "Operating System".

Too bad you can't use the ObjectSnapMasks directly in the
SetSystemVariable() function, but instead it needs to be cast to and Int16 object.

Thanks for the direction. All is well.

Something good is going to happen to you today.
