How to change snapmode of any function to anyAngle

The basic command is this:
hiGetCurrentWindow()->snapMode="anyAngle"

You can setup a command to cycle through some snap modes (include only those that interest you):

procedure(toggleSnap()
    case(hiGetCurrentWindow()->segSnapMode
        ("orthogonal" hiGetCurrentWindow()->segSnapMode="diagonal"
                      hiGetCurrentWindow()->snapMode="diagonal"
                      le0MoveForm->segSnapMode->value="diagonal")
        ("diagonal"   hiGetCurrentWindow()->segSnapMode="anyAngle"
                      hiGetCurrentWindow()->snapMode="anyAngle"
                      le0MoveForm->segSnapMode->value="anyAngle")
        (t            hiGetCurrentWindow()->segSnapMode="orthogonal"
                      hiGetCurrentWindow()->snapMode="orthogonal"
                      le0MoveForm->segSnapMode->value="orthogonal")
    )
    printf("%L\n" hiGetCurrentWindow()->segSnapMode)
)

This will go from "orthogonal" to "diagonal" to "anyAngle" and back to "orthogonal".

I setup my enterFunction bindkey for 'm' to do this toggle. So when I press 'm', it puts me in move mode. When I press 'm' while in move mode (or copy mode or any other "enter function"), it will toggle my snap mode. So pressing m a couple times in a row will get me in move mode with the snap I need at that time.

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>m EF" "toggleSnap()")

 hi Derek,

              Thankyou very much for your suggitions. I like your way of explaing in every post because you discuss each and every point about that topic and your code is user friendly. Thank you once again Derek.

 In 6.1.5, which file does the procedure portion of the command reside?  .cdsenv?  Obviously the bindkey command portion goes in the bindkey file.

In the .cdsinit file or a file loaded from the .cdsinit. Note that the bindkey definition could also go in the .cdsinit file too.

Regards,

Andrew.
