Fiatracer28 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have been using Autocad for a while, but have recently coma accross a few minor problems I cannot solve. 1. Doulble clicking on text no longer allows me to edit. 2. When I select an object, I can no longer delete it with the delete key. 3. The right click menu has had the move, scale and rotate options removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiatracer28 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Many thanks sorted out all three! Don't know how I managed to change it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxwellEdison Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 On #3, does your context (right click) menu display a flyout for "Basic Modify Tools"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterGMC Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Many thanks sorted out all three! Don't know how I managed to change it in the first place. Please explain how you solved them, so if someone in the future has the same issues, they have an answer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Richter: Actually the answer to all three questions is, as previously stated, to set the system variable PICKFIRST to the valve of "1". If set to "0", either intentionally or via a badly behaving Lisp routine (one that does not reset variables after changing them), you'll experience all the conditions Fiatracer did. This is quite easy to verify. Draw a circle and place some text next to it. Now change PICKFIRST (type it at the command line) from "1" to "0" and try each of the above. Then reset PICKFIRST from "0" to "1" and retry. Satisfied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
