    Default OBJECT SNAP SHORTCUT

    Good day!

    Need some help here.

    Is there a way or LISP to input Object Snap much easier when it is Off.
    Or instead of holding Shift+Right Click.

    Endpoint = 1
    Midpoint = 2
    Center = 3
    and so on and so forth.

    When doing a PLine instead of typing Polyline then _END of, can I just type 1 for end point and so on and so forth?

    Thank you in Advance

    There is a way using transparent commands. It uses the ' to imply transparent. Do you know about 'cal ?

    eg
    line '2
    pick the mid point
    '1
    pick next point

    Code:
    (defun c:1 ()
    (command "_end")
    )
    (defun c:2 ()
    (command "_mid")
    )

    Just use AutoCAD's Temporary Override Keys http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/20...5-6E91D53CBA90 &
    https://www.cad-notes.com/10-autocad...override-keys/
    They're fully customizable in the CUI, but the defaults should be all you need.
    Rather than remembering each of them try using Shift+A or ' to toggle Osnap on while you pick the endpoint.

    SHIFT+P → Object Snap Override: Endpoint
    SHIFT+M → Object Snap Override: Midpoint
    SHIFT+C → Object Snap Override: Center
