AutoCAD 2005 TIP: Ignore hatches when using object snaps

Autodesk added a very nifty (yet undocumented) system variable in AutoCAD 2005: "OSNAPHATCH"

This system variable controls whether AutoCAD has the ability to snap to hatch patterns.

To change the setting of this system variable type "OSNAPHATCH" at the command line. There are 2 available settings:

"0" - Ignore hatches when snapping
"1" - Hatch patterns can be snapped to

Thanks to Michael Rotolo for submitting this very useful tip.
