Where is SnapAng command in CUI?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I cannot find "snapang" command in the command list CUI (Customize User Interface). Does it have a different name?

Not predefined, create your own "command"

'_.snapang;45

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

The problem is that I want use "snapang" command with my side mouse button, but to do it I have to transfer this command from Command List to Customizations in All Files in CUI. 

Any ideas how can I solve this problem?

SNAPANG NOT a command , SNAPANG  is a System Variable .

Thank you for Your answers. 

Is there a possibility to drag out "snapang" to the Toolbar then?

So strange.... I cannot believe this… 😞

I am not sure what you need, but it is not a problem

1. to have "Snapang" in the command list in the lower left part of CUI command

   Create your own new command there.

2. also possible to set "Snapang" to a shortcut (your mouse should be able to use it)

..

If I pass the subject, please excuse me.

Please upload a picture of a valid "command" where you need snapang inside CUI dialog?

And if possible, also a picture of you Mouse Setting where you set up this command.

You understand my problem very well.

The problem is that I have no idea what should I Write in to fill up all gaps to create a new command… 

I read on internet how to create it but with no results 😕

Would you please give me an advice?

Sample for value 45..

OK. Nice. We are closer!

I wrote this line in the "Macro" section.

But it turns the angle 45 degrees. This what I want to do is to use snapang command, then mark 2 point on the line so I would get the same angle as the line... The thing is that I change different angles according to the lines in the drawing.

then remove ";45" from the end of the macro

Thank you!!! Oh my god you made my life much easier!

Can we og one step forward? Do I need en external program to set this command on my mouse or is it possible to do this in Autocad?

AlignSnapAng.lsp, with its AS and ASB commands, available >here<, is designed to do just that, and you don't  need to mark 2 points -- just select the Line at one  place, or nearly any kind of thing [see the file and the description at that Message], and the SNAPANG System Variable will be set to align with it, and under the ASB command, the SNAPBASE System Variable will also be set relative to it.  See also further discussion on that thread.

@Kent1CooperHey. This is great. I can do this twice faster with Your solution.

It Works very nice but please tell me how can I change back the angle to 0 degrees after changing the angle according to the line?

I have a little macro in a Tool Palette button that does this:

  'snapbase 0,0 'snapang 0

That could also be defined into a command name, if that would be easier for you:

(defun C:AZZ (); = Align back to Zero and Zero

  (setvar 'snapbase '(0 0 0))

  (setvar 'snapang 0.0)

)
