Plant3D P&D: How to keep same snap points config when drawing process lines?

Hello!

 

Plant3D P&D has a strange behavior when I'm drawing process lines. The snap points become different from what I have currently when I enter "Process line drawing mode".

Here's my "normal" snap points setup:

As soon as i click "Draw" to draw a Process Line, the snap point setup immediately changes:

It's so annoying! When drawing process lines having "Nearest" snap on always get in the way, and having "End Point" on is almost always needed but as you can see it's turned off. So, every time I will draw a new Process Line I have to go through the process of turning on and off the snaps I need. It breaks the workflow so bad!

 

Any help is aprecciated. Thanks!

@lucaslfm4 ,

 

these snap points are prescribed by Autodesk as standard for Plant 3D PID and 3D. You can select all other snap points with CTRL + right mouse button.
The functionality of all other active snap points is limited or leads to unexpected results!
