    Default Command Line Variable Options?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all,

    I've been searching through the forums, I know i've seen the answer before but i can't find it, so here goes:

    I've just recently had my computer updated to a newer model so
    before that happened I backed up my workspaces/profile/cui etc,
    everything else haworks like it did before, apart from 1 small problem,
    every time i enterd something in the command line before, whenever i
    pressed the up arrow it would repeat what i put, now however it's
    always coming up with the last absolute co-ordinates I was at, which
    is a little frustrating.

    Example:, I've used the DIV command on a line and now have a set of
    nodes I can snap to - i select XLINE and type in NOD, click on the
    first node, and then out of habit i press UP > ENTER, but this is now
    putting my next line ontop of my first one, not saying NOD at
    command line anymore, just a set of co-ordinates.

    If anyone knows which variable it is that i need to change, please let
    me know, as I rely on being able to quick-repeat commands that way,
    where as now i've had to open every toolbar out or every time i want
    to re-use a command I have to re-type it.

    Thanks

    No problem, had the same problem when we switched to 06 (I think that was the version).
    I just keep a list of setvars in my startup file that issue each time.
    Code:
    (AT:Setvar "inputhistorymode" 0)
