Cycle through accudraw snap modes

In addition to the multi-snap suggestion, there are also the keyboard shortcuts. I typically leave keypoint snap active and use keyboard shortcuts to change the snap mode for the next data point.

C - Center

N - Nearest

I - Intersection

K - Keypoint (can change divisor here to)

There's no built-in way to "cycle" through snap modes (there's quite a few snap modes and there are probably only a few you use regularly)...

But these don't always work. Quite often when starting a tool I have tried to use a shortcut to get to a particular snap and it doesn't work. I then have to rethink how to get to where I want. 

Stuartw - when you say 'these don't always work' - does AccuDraw have focus when you enter the shortcut? If not, the shortcut is not recognised.

To use keyboard shortcuts, make sure focus is either at Home or the AccuDraw dialog, and if it's not hit ESC, F11, or F12

That's where I have been going wrong, although I'm sure that with SS4 if I hit the 'I' key for example this gave accudraw focus straightaway, without having to hit another key (F11).

No, even in SS4, if Accudraw doesn't have focus, the shortcuts don't work. I run into that every day, and have a mouse button programmed for Accudraw focus. It's possible that in CE more areas are vying for focus so it's more often unfocused. But SS4 doesn't always have focus either.
