  • 1.  Cursor SNAP

    Posted 12-12-2025 07:02

    Hi,

    Can I set the cursor SNAP to be on by default, either in the settings or with MapBasic?

    Thanks,

    Steve

    P.S. I saw Sergi's post from 2022 but wasn't sure if that was the same question.

    Hey Steve

    I had noticed that Snap had been persisted in some of my workspaces, but didn't really take any note of this until you asked this question.

    To persist Snap in a workspace, we also need a statement for this.

    And it turns out we do:

    Set Window FrontWindow() Snap Mode Off 'Turn snap off

    Set Window FrontWindow() Snap Mode On 'Turn snap on

    We need to get this added to the documentation as it seems to have been missed.

    Thank you.

    I can now see the command option is listed in the Set Window statement MB help page but certainly wasn't able to locate it when searching for SNAP.

    Atb,

    S.
