Can the Snap be Toggled?

I would like to move objects around on a plan which are not on our grid back to our grid.

I do not like having to cycle through the three Snap types. Is there a way to toggle between the Construction Grid Snap and nothing?

TIA

You can set a keyboard shortcut to toggle the grid snaps on and off. Go under Options, Customize, Keyboard shortcuts and under the menu Commands-Options is Grid Snap. Set this to a hot key and the toggle is set.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

I did find the place to set a keystroke under Menu Commands for the menu of Options (third item down the list).

How is this any different than the Actions Grid Snap keystroke?

And how can I use the different types of Snaps?

Would it be best to use a key to goggle the snap function and another to rotate around among the three snap settings?
