I'm having a problem with a set of drawings where running snaps would crash the drawing. I spoke a colleague who told me that it is a well known bug in ACAD that running snaps can cause conflicts in drawings and should never used. (I was surprised to hear this as I've been using them for years and never had a problem) Anyway, I've stopped using them and the problem's gone away, but I was wondering if there's a way of shortcutting the transparent typed entry i.e. instead of typing end I'd like to type e, or m for mid, p for perp etc. I'm aware of the desktop menu but find it clumsy. Many thanks Mike
