Osmode in c#

[Anonymous]

I'm having some trouble setting the Osmode system variable. I'm trying to set it to 55 which gives me the snaps I normally use. I was able to figure out isnunits and several others but Osmode is eluding me. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you been programming with .NET for long?

What sort of 'trouble' are you having with setting
a system variable?

db.Ltscale = (varltscale);
db.Dimscale = (factor);
db.Celtscale = 1;
db.Psltscale = false;
db.Insunits = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.UnitsValue.Inches;

The above system variables are a little more obvoius, but Objectsnap seems to be a little more like "Insunits". With that said, I can set Objectsnap to "Tan" or "Int" or .... but I am having trouble setting Objectsnap to more than one of those items. When I set osmode at the command line I simple set it to 55 and I have what I want. The same does not seem to work in C#. To anwser your question I have used VBA, Active X, and good ole Lisp for quite some time, but realizing that the direction is moving towards .Net I am rewriting everything I have in .Net. FYI, that post that says Camron Diaz S&M carries a trojan horse with it.

If it helps here is where I am with some basic system variables that I normally set.

[CommandMethod("setdwgfac")]
public void setdwgfac(double factor)
{
Double adfltscale = 0.375;
Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
Transaction trans;
trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();
double varltscale;
varltscale = (factor * adfltscale);
db.Ltscale = (varltscale);
db.Dimscale = (factor);
db.Celtscale = 1;
db.Psltscale = false;
db.Insunits = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.UnitsValue.Inches;
db.Dimasz = 0.125;
db.Lunits = 4;
db.Luprec = 6;
trans.Commit();
trans.Dispose();

}

I Found what I need, though I could have used some sort of answer instead of a question about my expreience.

Your experience level determines how the question
is answered.

It is not obvious to me that I was handling this completely wrong. Here is what I ended up with. FYI, I try to keep my screen as uncluttered as possible, hence the long modemacro string.

Double adfltscale = 0.375;
Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
Transaction trans;
trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();
double varltscale;
varltscale = (factor * adfltscale);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("ltscale", varltscale);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Dimscale", factor);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Celtscale", 1);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Psltscale", 0);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Insunits", 1);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Dimasz", 0.125);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Lunits", 4);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("Luprec", 6);
acadapp.SetSystemVariable("ModeMacro", "LTSCALE:$(GETVAR, LTSCALE) DIMSCALE:$(GETVAR, DIMSCALE) ARROW SIZE:$(GETVAR, DIMASZ) SCALE:$(rtos, $(/, 12, $(/, $(GETVAR, LTSCALE), .375))) TEXTSIZE:$(GETVAR, TEXTSIZE) DIMSTYLE:$(GETVAR, DIMSTYLE) LAYER: $(GETVAR, clayer) |");
trans.Commit();
trans.Dispose();

Also I omitted an item in the previous code segment

using acadapp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;
