snapmode off/on - please help

[Michael Coviello]

Ignore, i found thread which deals with my question

I am a beginner at this so please forgive if this is very basic.
I'm trying to write a routine which uses crossing polygon stretch.

To begin with i want to turn off osnaps
(setvar"snapmode"0)
(command "stretch" "cp")
(setvar"snapmode"1) 'then turn osnaps back on.

Osnaps come back on too quickly. Ideally, i want to have osnaps off until the stretch command is completed; allowing the user to pick as many points as they want. I'm able to get it to work but only if i know how many pauses there will be. (which you never do know).

Thanks.

Maybe you can use this solution:

(setvar "osmode" 0)

Try this:

(command "_.stretch" (setq p1 (getpoint))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1)) "c"
(setq p3 (getpoint ))
(setq p4 (getcorner p3)) ""
(setq p5 (getpoint ))
(setq p6 (getpoint p5))
"")

Or better this one:

(command "_.stretch" (setq p1 (getpoint))
(setq p2 (getcorner p1)) "c"
p2
p1 ""
(setq p3 (getpoint ))
(setq p4 (getpoint p3))
"")

(setvar "osmode" 1)

Thanx
