Hi @Anonymous

 

As per my understanding, you wants to turn on the snap key F3 always,

 

If yes, please follow the steps,

 

1. Go to the below mentioned location in your computer. [ C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD {version} \Support\en-us ]

 

2. Open the lisp file ( acad2014doc.lsp ) via Note pad.


3. Add this line into the last line. (setvar 'osmode 0) [need an example, please see the attached image]


4. Save and close it.

 

5. Open the AutoCAD now, the F3 should be turned on always whenever you open any of the files.

 

Kindly check and let me know if there is any.

 

If my post has helps you, please select Accept as Solution.

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

 

>> How to keep OSNAP or F3 on.. i keep turning it on tonnes of times a day. <<

if you have already loaded lisps or plug-ins in your system. those tools may control this behavior in your AutoCAD and be the reason why this problem happened.

The suggestion from @Anonymous in Post 2 will turn running Object Snap off  when each drawing is opened, rather than keep it on.  Also, setting OSMODE to zero means that even hitting F3 will not turn on your desired modes -- none will be set to turn on.  But you could  have it set it to your preferred combination rather than to zero -- I like (setvar 'osmode 163) for END/MID/INT/PER.  However, that will only help when you first open each drawing.  If you are constantly finding it off and needing to turn it back on, you must have custom commands or routines that are turning it off.  Search all your .lsp files for either OSNAP commands or OSMODE System Variable settings.  But you may not find the problem that way, if it is happening in compiled files of filetypes other than .lsp.  See whether you notice what command or routine you are using when it gets turned off.  And read about the SYSVARMONITOR command to help you identify when it happens.  Once you isolate what is causing them to be turned off, you may or may not be able to fix the code that's responsible, depending on what kind of file is the culprit.

Hi,

 

>> Open the lisp file ( acad2014doc.lsp ) via Note pad.

Please don't do that or recommend that! The help clearly states that the acadXXXX.lso and acadXXXXdoc.lsp (where XXXX stands for a release number) should NOT be used for customization.

It looks likely all the machines have been installed a piece of Add-on, which takes over the control of OSNAP.

To find it out, simply ask the person who installed or created Add-ons. He or she may be the IT or the one looks after the CAD software in your company.

You will need to find out what is turning off OSnaps. No one here can do that for you without much more information.

 

Some poorly written LISPs disable OSnaps and don't restore the previous settings if not exited gracefully, i.e. hitting escape in the middle of the command without completing it. It should be easy to track down which one. Be aware of your drawing environment and note when OSnaps get turned off.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
