I have AutoCAD Mechanical 2014. Service Packs installed.
My Object Snap setting are currently turned on. (F3 turns them on and off by default) endpoint, midpoint, center, and intersection.
When i try and execute a command. Any command. Line. Circle whatever. and i try and execute that command by any means. clicking a button on the ribbon typying "line" enter, or just "L" enter.
My object snap setting turn off. and not just turn off, they reset to 0. meaning that if I try and turn them back on it will pop the window up saying I have non selected. and i have to select what I want. endpoint etc....
If i select just 1 item. when the command is finished it will keep those snap settings.
If i don't select any it will reset to what snap setting where before i executed the command.
Now if i only have endpoint selected in snap settings it will not disable snap setting upon execution of a command. but if i add any other it resets it every time. So when i have to add 25 objects to a drawing. either brand new, or previously existing, I have to manually set my snap setting with each and every command.

I am having this same problem 10 years later, using AutoCAD Civil 2020. Object snaps are all turned off, F3 is deactivated, but I am getting snapped to endpoint and the grip square showing the snap is blue, unlike the normal snaps. Has anyone discovered how to turn this off? This just started happening a few days ago when I started using a new keyboard. I don't know if perhaps there is a hot key that I am inadvertently using or if it's completely unrelated. I have now switched back my old keyboard but the problem persists.
