Zoom Center turns off Osnaps

[Anonymous]

When I use the ZOOM command with the CENTER option, AutoCAD turns off the running osnaps.  The osnaps can be used manually during the command and are turned back on when the command is finished.  Is there a way to leave the osnaps on during the command?

Thanks,

Hi,

you're right .... this is normal AutoCAD behavior. the only way is to type manually your needed osnap when asking for " Specify center point: " .

Thanks Imad,

Is there any benefit to this behavior or a reason that this is the best action for AutoCAD to take?

i think that such an operation ( Zoom - Center ) didn't need the accuracy that Osnap usually give. you will get the same result ( some how ) with or without osnap .
