Mid Between 2 Points Snap Override in AutoCAD

Have you ever tried to find a point exactly midway between two objects or points on your drawing using snap override in AutoCAD?

Here is a handy tip to help you do exactly that.

When you start a create command to create a new object, hold the shift key down and right click on your mouse, this will open the snap override menu. The snap override in AutoCAD lets you select a specific snap point for the next click only.
