Are you aware that, aside from all the other good advice offered here, you can use TAB to cycle through those osnap options which might be coming into play close to your pickbox location? 

I have never used LT, so am unsure about this suggestion...

In OPTIONS check Priority for Coordinate Data Entry on the User Preferences Tab.  Presumably it will already be set as shown in the screenshot.  That sets your OSNAPCOORD system variable setting to = 0.

I've always left OSNAPCOORD (System Variable) set to the Initial value of 2 as coordinate values are important for Civil 3D. There may be other uses for AutoCAD correct coordinates aren't that important but I couldn't recommend modifying a default system variable without explaining why.

 

TAB to cycle through those osnap options which might be coming into play close to your pickbox location is a good tip!

OK thanks I'll bear this in mind.
