ZW command doesn't work after running ZE command

I use ZE for (command "Zoom" "E") and ZW (Command "Zoom" "w") for some shortcuts. In 2015, after I run the ZE command and type in ZW at the command prompt it says "unknown command", then if I type it again it works. I can type ZW after that again and continue to Zoom window all day long but as soon as I Zoom Extents and then type ZW again (or just Z for that matter) I always get a "Unknown Command" error the first time. Does anyone know why this is happening? 2014 works fine.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

John

I can't repeat that here on 2015, but just use Z and then define a window, no need to use ZW and then define a window.

I can;t repeat in R2015 either: and I use Z, since by default Z is always Window unless you programmed it otherwise.

A test, type .Z (there is a period in front of the Z) instead of ZW, does it still fail? .Z is the core command we all have and use too, ZW may be something else on your machine.

I found out what the problem was. I was running a 'zoom command which was acting as transparent comment and caused issues. I removed the ' and everything works. Thanks.
