OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

(OP)
I recently started working in AutoCad Lite 2009. A lot of stuff is different than 2007. One of the things I am having trouble with is the OSNAPS. In 2007 I would have an OSNAP toolbar docked on the right side that I customized to show the snaps I used most frequently. That is, I would always keep "end ent"; "center"; "midpoint"and "intersection" on from the settings menu. If I needed it to prioritize anyone of those snaps I could simply click it on the tool bar. If I needed to snap to something different ( such as "quadrant" or "tangent")  I could pick the settings menu from that tool bar and add the snap I needed.

In the 2009 version I have to right click the OSNAP icon , then pick settings and clear everything then turn on the OSNAP I need.  This involves several mouse clicks as opposed to 1 or 2 in the older versions. I imagine there is a better way to do this in 2009, but I cannot figure it out. Please advise.  

RE: OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

Hold down "shift" right click and select the snap that you are looking to use.  I recommend just setting up the snaps that you use frequently. Then using shift if you need "tanget" or something else.

That's what I have been doing only without the shift key. That is if I just right click on the OSNAP icon I get the same result as with the shift key.

In 2007 I could do this all in one mouse click.

RE: OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

You can put the osnap toolbar on the right, just as you did in 2007.  Right clisk on an open space on a toolbar, it should open up a menu of toolbars.  Select the osnap toolbar, then move it where you want.  Does this toolbar not do what you expect?
