Hi,

I wanted to create a shortcut macro i can type in while doing a command so i can snap FROM PERPENDICULAR but can't quite get it right. I need it to be transparent also, so say if was drawing a line, i would want to type FP or whatever i set for the command shortcut and i could snap from the perpendicular of a certain object. I know i can do it from the snap menu / toolbar, but would rather have a quick 2 letter command to type mid-command..

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul @ basepointdesignzltd..

Hi Paul,

Here's one of many options:

Code: 
(defun C:FP ()
  (setvar "OSMODE" 128)
)
