Reg : snap to edged using a keyboard key

Hi,

I want to write a code for toggling snap to edges button option while drawing a rectangle.

Like while doing quick align when we press "s" it will toggle to snap to edges and points to snap to edges and vice versa.

How to give the same bind key for both stretch and accessing options while doing another operatoin.

Thank you,

Ganesh.

    Hi Ganesh,

    You could use the following SKILL in an enterfunction bindkey:

    leSetEnv("rectSmartSnapEnable" !leGetEnv("rectSmartSnapEnable"))

    Note that the quick align switches the bind keys itself, and by default the "S" bindkey doesn't have an enterfunction bindkey for layout. So you could do:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>sEF" "leSetEnv(\"rectSmartSnapEnable\" !leGetEnv(\"rectSmartSnapEnable\"))")

    Regards,

    Andrew.
