Dennis, I also like the extra screen area and haven't used a screen menu for a couple of years. On the osnap setting… in nearly all of my lisp routines I manage osnap according to what I want to snap to and set it with (setvar "osmode" nn). I've made a practice of (setvar "osmode" 0) immediately after I'm thru with the picks. Leaving osnap "on" to *any* setting can produce some very unexpected results. The osnap 'overrides' work well in AutoLISP also, as in… (command "line" "non" (polar pt1 pi 0.04) "non" (polar pt1 pi 0.875)""). I have two routines that need "osmode" 32 on for one pick after another but a little work has to be performed between picks. In the command above the first point would definitely snap to "pt1" and the second would if the display is zoomed out far enough. I do have some menu picks that leave osnap "on" and I've included a command in ACAD.LSP so I can turn them off with just "n". Gale
