You can't.
It is the cursor that shows the snap point icons and that is built into Archicad.
Forget about trying to make Archicad work like Autocad.
It is a completely different animal.

You can change the colour of the hotspots - both the standard selection hotspots and the editable hotspots.
In the Work Environment > Selection & Element Information.

But these are not your snap points.
They tend to coincide with many of the snap points - but not always.

Barry's right. Don't try to make ArchiCAD act or look like AutoCAD. It will only cause you trouble. Years ago I had a coworker who tried to make ArchiCAD look and act more like AutoCAD. After a month or so he gave up because it caused so many other problems. He got tired of fighting ArchiCAD's logic.
