Description

zmidpoint

This command can be entered transparently during commands, but must be entered without the apostrophe prefix ( ' ).

If 3D snapping (Zmidpoint) is off the 2D snap (Midpoint) will still work on 3D objects. If 2D snapping is off then 3D snap (for midpoints)will not work on 2D objects, so the 3D snap is a '3D only' snap.
