AEC door tool will reset the osnaps -
Author response: Yes, the AEC door tool will reset the osnaps. I can send a revised version that will not reset the osnaps. I need to know if the reader is using metric or feet/inch.

The replacement file can be found in the Downloads section.

Reader Response:
I am using feet/inch.

Reader Response:
This replacement file only addresses half the problem. When installed it is correct that it does not reset my osnaps for the program at large anymore. However it does not retain those osnaps for use with the door tool, leaving you only with "nearest" while using the tool. If upon selecting the tool I set the osnap settings to my preference, by the 3rd right click while inserting the door the osnaps have returned to "nearest". The implication is every time you insert a door you must reset the osnaps twice if you want to snap to intersections or midpoints for example. The good news is once I finish inserting the door and move onto another tool my original osnaps do return.
-------------------------------------------------
Author Response:
Yes, the Door function intentionally reverts to the Nearest osnap. This
is done to for at least one osnap while selecting points. If the osnap
is not used, the door may be inserted with errors. Sometimes the errors
are not apparent but can cause problems later. The user can use the
Shift-Right click and select a different osnap during the door function.
Really, the user only need to use the Intersection or Endpoint osnap at the first point
selection prompt. The other two can be left to the Door function.
