Snap Lisp

[billynutts]

Maybe someone can help. I just currently switched over from Acad 2002, using a table and 4 button puck, to ADT 2008, using a Mircrosoft Wireless Optical 5000 - 5 buttom mouse. When I was using the puck I had one of my pick buttons set up to PERP, INS, NOD, QUAD and another to use ENDP, INT, MID, CEN. (see below was in the MNU file) This setup was very convenient in that you didn't have to have your snaps set, type it in, or use the snap menu.

Now ADT 2008 has CUI files and I have not been able to add this in. I can use the mouse software to customize the buttons when in ACAD proigram but it will only let me activate a program or routine. So I figured if I had it as a lisp it would work. Unfortunatly I do not know how to write lisp. Any ideas?


***BUTTONS1
// Simple + button
// if a grip is hot bring up the Grips Cursor Menu (POP 500), else send a carriage return
// If the SHORTCUTMENU sysvar is not 0 the first item (for button 1) is NOT USED.
;
PERP,INS,NOD,QUAD;\
ENDP,INT,MID,CEN;\
^B
^O
^G
^D
^E
^T

May suggest placing such OSnap overrides on some of the F-keys? You can do that in the CUI, under Shortcut Keys. It works pretty well for us.

The issue with trying to do a lisp routine is that it won't work if you are already using another lisp routine.

I prefer osmode 111, and shift Right Mouse Button for the rest
I do not to recommend interfering with the built in functions in the cui
they are really good as they are.

: ) Happy Computing !
