2002 to 2006 arrow key history

[irelandmc]

Hi all,

When I was using 2002LT, I could access the history with the arrow key as follows:
Say I want multiple line segments 2 units long-
start line command, enter "@2<0",
hit the arrow up and get "@2<0" again,
repeat until satisfied...

I'm in 2006LT now, and when I access the history with the up arrow in the same situation, I get the coordinates of the endpoint of my last segment, which was fine for my last segment, but not so productive for my next. :?

I can't seem to find a variable to change this to what I'm used to, but I know that all you swell folks are just bursting to tell me how to accomplish this...
:D

Thanks for reading.

Check the Help files for INPUTHISTORYMODE. I think that's what you're after.:)

I seem to be able to turn off the accessibility of the history from the arrow keys, but not the format of the entries.

Is there a way to set the format ACAD stores the history in? It seems the problem is that it's recording the absolute coordinates, when in fact I entered a relative coordinate. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Setting INPUTHISTORYMODE to 2 works for me in full ACAD. Maybe it's different in LT?

It does work in LT, you are right. I had it toggled between 15, 1, and zero. I hadn't thought that 2 would change the format like that, but of course it did!Thanks for your thoroughness.
