Topic: Changed Setting...

[hudster]

This is doing my nut in.

My settings have been altered and I can't get them back.

I used to click on items and the grips would show, I could then click on erase and the selected items would be erased.

Now when i do this it cancels my selection and I have to pick the items again.

anyone know how to change this back to my preferred setting?

pickfirst ?

[hudster]

nope, tried that one first.

also tried pickauto, pickadd, and pickstyle.

[hendie]

verb/noun selection ?

[CADaver]

Setver GRIPS=1?

-----added

Noun/Verb changes the PICKFIRST Setvar, and that should be set to 1, and that "should" solve the problem but you say you've checked that.

[hudster]

Nope that aint it either.

[M-dub]

I doubt it, but is it HIGHLIGHT?

[CADaver]

Ifn' it ain't PICKFIRST=1, sumthen's broke.

[M-dub]

I think you're right, but....WHAT?

[CADaver]

dunno, maybe a reactor setting it back???

[hudster]

it only does this with the macro button commands.

when i select an object and type e on the keyboard it erases it.

This is getting weird.

[M-dub]

Just a question, but would the ^C^C at the beginning have anything to do with it?

....IF it exists in your macro, that is...

[CADaver]

Post the macro

[hudster]

here is the copy macro.

Code: [Select]

$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),grip),_copy,^C^C_copy)

Thing is it worked before, just not now.

I'm hoping I won't have to re-install autocad

[M-dub]

Well, it seemed to work for me.  What exactly do you do when you experience the problem?

Select a line (or other object)
THEN select the button?

It worked for me...well, it made a single copy, anyway.
