I installed my home mouse at the office with the appropriate installation software. It's a 5 button mouse and I've set up the right click button to be the Enter button and use it at home to repeat a command, rather than using the keyboard. At work, when I rt. click after a command, I get a shortcut/context menu asking me if I want to Enter or repeat the last command. (duh) Any ideas how I can eliminate this annoying and redundant menu and simply go directly to the next command?

 

Hoping this is an Autocad setting and not some windows issue.

 

Thanks,

Right-click customization under Options...

Bless you alanjt for the answer. Since I'm not at work, I checked my 2006 LT and found the Default Mode and Command Mode options greyed out. Why would they be greyed out?

 

Thanks,

You're quite welcome. However, I can't imagine going back to the days before the right-click menu.

 

Not 100% sure what you're referring to, but be sure to uncheck the Turn on time sensitive right-click.

alan, got your answer before I could post that I had tried unchecking the time sensitive box. Amazing what happens when you start pressing buttons.

 

I'm clearly not a power user yet but, when I press a button intended to be "Enter", I like to get Enter and not a question "Did you mean Enter?". Same with repeating a command. When I get acquainted with the finer points of Acad, I'm sure I may want full use of the shortcut menu.

 

Thanks,

Once the right-click menu came out, I learned to use the spacebar (same as enter and my left hand rarely leaves the keyboard) as a replacement. That way I could have the best of both worlds (the above image shows my exact settings).

 

Glad you got it sorted. Happy CAD'ing. :)
