2.5 and 3D snap keyboard shortcut

[tct70]

Hi,

When modelling in Max (well Viz to be exact but there's little related difference) I switch between 2.5D and 3D snaps alot. I know I can use the "S" keyboard shortcut to tun the snap on or off, but I don't seem to be able to find a way that I can select 2.5D by pressing "2" or 3D by pressing "3".

Any help would be much appreciated.

I made a macro to switch this. All you have to do is set a shortcut for this macro.

macroScript qarq_cycle_snap
	category:"4ArqScripts"
	buttonText:"Quick Snaps Toggle Cycle"
	tooltip:"Quick Snaps Toggle Cycle"
(
	on execute do
	(
		snapList = #(#3D, #2_5D, #2D)
		currentSnap = snapMode.type
		
		i = findItem snapList currentSnap
		if i == 3 then i = 1 else i = i + 1
		snapMode.type = snapList[i]
	)
)

        currentSnap = snapMode.type
        
        i = findItem snapList currentSnap

Ah I've wanted this for ages. Such an oversight not having this as a native shortcut. Thanks a million!
