awoehl Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 When I select copy then select item to copy then right click to enter it automatically selects 0,0 as my base point unless I hit enter or the spacebar instead of right clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That seems to me, to be a logical enough default setting. Is this post meant to pose a question, or share some insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Try setting PICKADD to the default value of 2. Otherwise your button 2 in the Mouse Buttons Click menu might have been changed. In Options → User Preferences tab what are your Right-click Customizations set to? Many options there, but 0,0 isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 This doesn't appear to have anything to do with LISP, etc. so I moved your thread to the AutoCAD 2D Drafting, Object Properties & Interface Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 An old thread but it might help - mouse - it could be a defect mouse, or low batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldriller Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Try LEFT clicking on your mouse where you want to drop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoehl Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 When I copy text I select it and than right click and it automatically makes my base point at 0,0 why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberAngel Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 As Mason said to Dixon, you have to start somewhere. There are several ways to specify how to move things. If you type @ (relative) and your displacement, the move starts at 0,0 and goes from there, but your item moves relative to the origin. You can also type absolute coordinates as the destination. It's only logical. AutoCAD knows where an object is now, but to put it somewhere else it needs a specific new place or an offset from the old place. This seems like a pretty basic question for someone who's been a member for seven years. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Stop hitting right click, at that point. It is the wrong time for it. Put the cursor on your desired basepoint and LEFT CLICK, as was suggested in your other thread on the same subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awoehl Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 It seems to be if I right click after I select an object to copy while not hovering over an object it lets me pick my displacement location but if I am hovering over something it automatically attaches my displacement location to 0,0.
