Hi Ahmidou,

It look like a bug.

Snapping targets should not be displayed for tools that don't have snapping 
enabled. The picking issue sounds like a secondary bug that is probably 
triggered by the snap target display.

Have you tried disabling the snap properties inside your tool as a workaround?

Subject: Re: [custom tool sdk] Disabling snapping when ctrl is pressed

Hi Minrui,
Thanks for your reply, It is disabeld in the context which is fine, but if the 
options are set to:

Application.SetValue("preferences.SnapProperties.Enable0D", True, "")
Application.SetValue("preferences.SnapProperties.Centers", True, "")
Application.SetValue("preferences.SnapProperties.Points", True, "")

object pivot appears in the viewport while pressing ctrl and there is wrong hit 
number when rectangle picking knots

Cheers

Snapping should be disabled by default in the toolcontext.
You see the snap toggled in the UI but using for example GetWorldPosition won't 
return the snapped positions.

Regards,
Minrui
