Osnap

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to have the user snap to a point or object and for the routine to execute different code for different osnaps? (i.e. if snaps to nearest point or object do this, or if snaps to insertion point do this)

Thanks

I think you could do something like that through the macros in CUI.

Cade can be written to test each of your osnaps to a selected point value, sp, by your priority, as:
(cond
((setq ospn (osnap sp "NEA") (do-something.near-like.))
((setq ospn (osnap sp "END") (do-something.end-like.))
...
)

Courtmyers,

Do you mean you want to do something like this:
(defun c:LE () (command "Line" "endp" pause)(princ))
(defun c:LI () (command "Line" "int" pause)(princ))
(defun c:LM () (command "Line" "mid" pause)(princ))
(defun c:LN () (command "Line" "nea" pause)(princ))
(defun c:LQ () (command "Line" "qua" pause)(princ))

Or like this:
(setq osm (getvar "osmode"))
(setvar "osmode" 512) (setq a (getpoint "[First point]: ")) ;nea
(setvar "osmode" 128) (setq b (getpoint a "Second point: ")) ;per
(setvar "osmode" osm)

Regardless of which one to use, you will need to pay close attention to your PGP file.

Good Luck!
