I am aware of AutoCADs Temporary Override Keys for AutoCAD 2006 and above, however I have had issues with them working all of the time. To me my custom accelerators keys in AutoCAD 2004 worked much better.

I created the following accelerators for my OSnaps and I miss them dearly. Does any one know how to create this same ability for AutoCAD 2006?

 

["1"]_CEN
["2"]_ENDP
["3"]_INT
["4"]_MID
["5"]_NODE
["6"]_PERP
["7"]_QUA
["8"]_TAN
["9"]_nea

 

I have been told that creating what I did, or copied from some ones input, was an undocumented feature with AutoCAD 2004.

AutoCAD 2006 CUI interface does not allow single character input for Temporary Overrides.

I know very very little about LISP and have not been able to figure out any way to create this functionality with LISP or other wise. Can anyone help me?

I agree with you that keyboard shortcuts could be used (key + key), however that is some what the same as a temporary override key (key + key).

well personally what i use for snaps instead are autolisp routines. i took lisp file from someone else with some basic snap stuff and built more into it so  have lisp extensions for all of my basic commands with letter codes ie. lee is line from end to end etc and osnap lisps like oso for osnap node and stuff. it's the long way workaround, but won't go away.

this type of lisp code is really easy to write here is a sample.

(defun c:Lee() (command "line" "end" pause "end" pause *cancel*))

(DEFUN C:osE() (command "osmode" "1"))

anyways also you can define the lisp funtion to be a number from the command line like so. for osnap endpoint. etc.

(DEFUN C:1() (command "osmode" "1"))

iDraft I am curious about your process, I will see what I can do with it.
