Commands by grips

Anonymous — Tue, 12 May 2020 19:07:40 GMT

Hi, I am having problems sometimes when I want to cycle from the five diferents options that grips commands have.

Previously, the order that appears them is 1 Stretch, 2-Move, 3-Rotate, 4-Scale and 5-Mirror.

Now this order seems crazy because not always appear the five command, and when appear them, the order is unknonw.

Is there a option or variable for controling this behavior? Thank you!

What version of AutoCAD?

Can you provide repeatable steps?

For example does this occur with only certain entity types?

That sysvar has no effect on the GRIPS menu on the command line.

Command:

** STRETCH **
Specify stretch point or [Base point/Copy/Undo/eXit]:

** MOVE **
Specify move point or [Base point/Copy/Undo/eXit]:

** ROTATE **
Specify rotation angle or [Base point/Copy/Undo/Reference/eXit]:

** SCALE **
Specify scale factor or [Base point/Copy/Undo/Reference/eXit]:

** MIRROR **
Specify second point or [Base point/Copy/Undo/eXit]:

@qnologi - I don't recall ever seeing any difference in the command line grip options either??

>>>.... sometimes...<<<
Define that better, when exactly? Under what circumstances?
And what year version and variant of AutoCAD?
Are you invoking with a keyboard or a mouse button set to <enter>?

I only get the normal order here, never noticed a departure yet in R2021 and older
** STRETCH **
** MOVE **
** ROTATE **
** SCALE **
** MIRROR **
