How does one change the snaps (eg. from midpoint to end) while in the middle of dimensioning.

You can use the keyboard shortcuts - SM, SE, SI etc, or just select from the options bar.

You can also adjust the dimensions after the event by selecting them and right clicking to move or delete witness lines.

I can get the letter S to work. It lets you arrow key through the snaps. It doesn't let me pick any letters after the first one. What am I doing wrong.?

You can also click on the blue handle points for dimensions to change the witness line locations.

Refer This Post by Steve Stafford (www.zoogdesign.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2210&highlight=) That may be the problem.

I have remapped all of my snaps to the F-keys. This would solve the problem of not being able to key in the second letter.

Are you hitting "enter" after the S as in Autocad? If so, then try hitting SM without hitting enter between.
