The global variable is not part of the LinearMark object. It will be used by 
ALL objects created. I understand the uneasiness with this so maybe I will 
make it a function so it will be set with something like:

SnapSize(num)

As I mentioned, the file "A" can be considered a scene file. I do not want 
the user to have to create classes there. I apologize for the lack of code. 
I will soon have some python code so my future questions will have some 
examples.

Thanks for the comments.
