Right-click the "Snap Mode" button on the status bar, you can open the "Object Snap" tab of the "Drafting Settings" dialog box, in which you can determine one or more running object snaps.
If more than one object snap is available at a given location, you can press TAB to cycle through the possibilities before specifying the point.
