Topic: Properties Dlg Box

[Scott]

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?

[Scott]

Nope

[Andrea]

try -change

[CADaver]

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

If that works, someone has redefined the CHANGE command.

[Scott]

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

Thanks
Scott

=========================================
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.

That did the trick, thank CAB
