Help with OSNAP

Hi There - When trying to move an object by a numerical value the object moves to a snap point instead (see screen capture video for an example). In the screen capture video, I use the move command and enter a numerical value of 60'-0", then hit enter. But, the object snaps to the endpoint of the rectangle at 66'-11". My APERTURE system variable is set to 5. My SNAPMODE variable is set to 1.

I know that I can resolve this by toggling OSNAP (F3) off, but I would like to avoid toggling OSNAP (F3) off every time I need to move an object by a numerical value. Is it possible to set a system variable to disable OSNAP when entering a numerical value, or a similar solution? Thanks all!

Thanks @paullimapa! The value was 0, modifying that value to 2 seems to have worked.

Hi Rob,

where you set it to 0 by mistake (perhaps), OPTIONS dialog.
