Ivan006 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Hey folks, Has anyone tried (or have) AutoCAD (or MechCAD) 2011? I'm trying to make multiple copies of an object in model space on MechCAD 2011 and I can't seem to get it to work. I can only copy one item at a time. I use to run AutoCAD 2008, and I could copy multiple objects at one time, but it seems that multiple select in this mode is not working, because I can only copy one object. Did I miss something in the update of this software? I've tried looking up the feature in help, but I can't find it. Can anyone make any suggestions? Quote
ReMark Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Open your CUI and have a look at what is on the line labeled Macro in the right-pane when you click on the Copy command. In AutoCAD 2010 it looks like this: $M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_copy,^C^C_copy) and it works the way you remember it from 2008. Quote
JPlanera Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 It sounds like you are using AMPOWERCOPY. This doesnt allow window selection for some reason. Use the standard copy command from the Modify pull down, type _COPY at the command line, or edit your .pgp to use _COPY as a shortut... If i remember correctly, CO and CP were AMPOWERCOPY until i did a little editing... Quote
