Autocad launch change my keyboard language

karl_leduc-berard — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 15:37:46 GMT

Hello,

When you work my keyboard is fine with every program i use... until i launch autocad (2020).

After i have launched autocad, my keyboard layout change and i cant type accent anymore. (àÀçÇóÓ.... etc etc.) the only way to get them is with the ascii code which is quite annoying. if i type in windows based software,its alright, but it wont work on anything else. I have to restart my computer to get them back on everything(except autocad)

im using autocad 2020 with french language pack and i only got 1 keyboard layout with the windows parameter

any idea to where it may come from?

Are you by chance on a MAC running WIndows/AutoCAD in Parallels?

Thanks for the info.
is this a new problem, started today or this week?
Did you restart your PC yet? Have to ask, you know.
Is this a new installation of 2020? It's over a year old.
What else is running with it (add-on or 3rd party tool)? is the French language pack new?

I have since 2.5years ago lol, didnt have much time to spend to fix this ( since i could get around with the ascii code)

I had autocad 2018 before and it was the same. if i work with revit or inventor, everything is fine. But when i open autocad it change the keyboard. I have to restart the computer to get it back as wanted.
I tried to uninstall autocad and the language pack and reinstall it, with the same result.

Try this:

Log into your computer as an all new user with full admin rights in WindowsOS: then test it, dopes the problem go away? This is not as good as reformatting your PC and starting over but it is good enough for a quick test to see if your Windows log-in got hosed.

TIA
