I am having trouble finding a variable in CAD. when i have initiated a command such as move or copy etc, I need to turn on the varible that allows me to click the center scroll wheel on my mouse which in turn gives me a drop down menu of the object snap menu so i can choose say, mid or nearest snap etc...
I have done a search and found one variable that toggles between using the osnap and pan inside a command which is mbuttonpan, but the osnap drop down menu just doesnt seem to appear when i turn off the pan variable.
can anybody help me here, thanks.

You may be referring to RightClick customization I believe. Under options >> user preferences

No i have the right click customization done no problem, its the middle scroll wheel on the mouse. it can be used as a button aswell as for scrolling, when you press it as a button inside a command you can choose what dropdown menu you require, i need to know how to choose it to drop down the OSNAP menu when inside a command.its a varible inside CAD that needs to be changed.
 
lpseifert please read my original post, i know about the mbuttonpan variable, i am saying that is not the correct variable for what i am trying to recieve.
 
I think lpseifert was correct. I can get what you appear to want from the mbuttonpan variable. It get the pulldown from your menu file. Is your menu file correct?

Use shift right click to get the osnap menu. I would suggest leaving the middle button as pan and zoom. It is much easier and much more efficient to work with it this way.
