1. Right-click the OSNAP button on the status bar.
The Object Snap menu appears, as shown in Figure 7-5.
Many status bar buttons display shortcut menus when you right-click, as
shown in Figure 7-5. (Object Snap and Object Snap Tracking both display the menu
of running object snaps.) Many settings, including all running Object Snap types,
can be set by clicking a menu item — you no longer need to open the Drafting Set-
tings dialog box, make your settings, and then click OK to close the dialog box.

Grabbing multiple object features is an osnap.
2. Click in the menu to select one or more Object Snap settings.
Active running Object Snap settings show a highlighted square around the icon (see
Figure 7-5).
You click the Object Snap button on the status bar to toggle Running Object Snap mode.
After you turn on Running Object Snap, AutoCAD hunts for points that correspond to
the object snaps you checked on the Object Snap button's right-click menu. As with Ob-
ject Snap overrides, AutoCAD displays a special symbol — such as a square for an End-
point object snap — to indicate that it has found an object snap point. If you keep the
crosshairs still, AutoCAD also displays a tooltip that lists the
kind
of object snap point.
