(osnap(getpoint)"_mid") doesn't work on a user defined hatch in 2005

(osnap(getpoint)"_mid") doesn't work on a user defined hatch in 2005. I haven't tried it in 2004 but it worked for us in 2000i.

Any ideas?

Other than I don't like the way it's written?

I'll test it later...

Make sure the new sysvar osnaphatch is set to 1 ???

that was it! THANKS!

I love to hear more about this "feature".

Any opinions on why such a system variable is necessary and not documented?
