Keyword dropdown on mouse pointer

[Fredrik.Larsen]

Hi

I use a plug-in that prompt me for a keyword. In the 2012 version of AutoCAD I could press key down to get a drop down list on the mouse pointer with all the keywords, see attached image. In the 2014 version I don't get this choice, I only get the possibility to choose keyword from the command line at the bottom. Is the functionality with key down gone in the never versions or can I set a variable so it shows?

The "down arrow" in your screenshot does not appear to be a plug-in, it just looks like dynamic input with "Allow pointer input" enabled. Maybe check your Dynamic input settings.

I didn't mean the functionality was in the plug-in, just that the plug-in used it. I looked up the dynamic input and found that I just had to turn this option on to get what I wanted. I am quite new to AutoCAD so I don't know all the settings yet and what they are called. Thanks for the answer. 🙂

Your'e in good company with that last -- after multiple decades I still don't know all the settings or what they are all called called

Especially since some have unexpected consequences.
