If you want to turn on endpoint and midpoint snap, the value should be 1+2 = 3. The set of object snaps is saved in the OSMODE system variable. Now if we often change the set of running object snaps, how can we do it quickly? The OSMODE system variable Only activate object snaps that you use frequently. But they will be more annoying than being helpful. But when we work with another drawing, we might need the center, tangent and quadrant snap. For a particular drawing, we might need only endpoint snap and midpoint snap. When we work with AutoCAD, we often need to change the set of running object snaps.
