Title: Properties Dlg Box
Post by: Scott on October 04, 2004, 03:43:48 PM

Can someone please tell me why the properties dlg box pops up when I type "change" in the command line?  It has never done this before, and I don't know why it does it now.  I used to get other options when I typed "change" anyone know if there is a system setting that is messed up?

Thanks in advance
Scott

Have you upgraded your AutoCAD recently?

prefix the command with a "dot" as in .change

If that works, someone has redefined the CHANGE command.

Okay the -change and .change both work like I'm used to.  So how do I change it back?

Thanks
Scott

REDEFINE
Restores AutoCAD internal commands overridden by UNDEFINE

Command line: redefine

Enter command name:  Enter the name of an AutoCAD command turned off by the UNDEFINE command  

If a command has been undefined, you can still use it if you precede the command name with a period.

See "Redefining AutoCAD Commands" in chapter 8, "AutoLISP Basics," in the Visual LISP Developer's Guide.
=========================================
Chapter 8
Redefining AutoCAD Commands
Using AutoLISP, external commands, and the alias feature, you can define
your own AutoCAD commands. You can use the UNDEFINE command to
redefine a built-in AutoCAD command with a user-defined command of the
same name. To restore the built-in definition of a command, use the REDEFINE
command. The UNDEFINE command is in effect for the current editing
session only.
