Question
i have problems with my "snap" like settings, although my snap button is off my cursor is acting as if the snap was on.
it is acting like that on both paper and model space, i'm using  2006 version.
please help I am  getting frustrating.
thank you

Answer
Ania:
My cursor doesn't act like this, and I'm using AutocAD 2006.  But others that have this problem are doing the following with a pretty good degree of success:

Go to "Options" "User Preferences" and Check "Shortcut Menus in Drawing Area" (keep reading, I do not like them either, but 2006 has an answer). Then select "Right Click Customization", turn on "Time Sensitive Right-Click", and change the click duration to 1000. Then down below in "Edit Mode", select "Repeat Last Command", "Apply" and "OK".

Guess what?  I just checked my settings, and they were already set this way.  I must have done this myself a long time ago and forgot about it.

Keep in touch!

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
