Unwanted Object snappping

[pdzwonowski]

I utilize the object snap daily in my ACAD drawings and use the F3 to toggle the object snap on and off. For quite some time now, I find the snap has been turning on when I don’t want it to and it requires me to use the F3 to disable it. I’ve been ignoring the problem but it has gotten more than annoying as at times I may go back and forth with the snap mode all day and the problem has really bogged down the productivity. I’m not sure if this is an ACAD issue or a hardware issue. The keyboard I use is a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 V1.0. I use both ACAD and C3D 2018.

Hoping someone will have some insight into this problem

Thanks

Since you mention the keyboard. Have you tried switching it out?

It could be a LISP issue also.

The Microsoft Ergo is the keyboard I'm currently using. I've had a Dell keyboard in the past and had the similar issue. What puzzles me is that I haven't seen any posts from people having the same issue as I am having.

Thanks

Hi,

if system variables change by themselves (which they never do, but commands or tools might change them by their needs) you can use command _SYSVARMONITOR and define the variables you want to watch and you want to get informed when they change. This gives you the feedback when exactly this modification happens.

Hi,

I have treat with this issue previously by unloading outsource lisp that caused this behavior .

How long do you press the F3 key ? A long pressing is possible.

TEMPOVERRIDES to 1 (defaut) manages the ability to stay on F key so that the replacement is temporary...

Thanks - I'll give it a try

Interesting

Can you explain how an outsourced lisp routine can enter into my ACAD program? 

[pdzwonowski]

Interesting again

Could you clearify the F3 pressing? I have been using ACAD since the 80's and until roughly the past year or so I've never had this issue using the F3 button.

Thanks
