Short cut keys & commands not working properly

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 15:57:30 GMT

I'm having a issue with using commands/hot keys/and editing text in place

I used to be able to highlight a selection/type a command (ex: CO)/ hit enter and it would just ask me to select a point to grab from.

Now for some reason I have to type the command in/ hit enter/ highlight the selection/ hit enter/ then select a point.

I also can't double click to edit any text or blocks in place or right click to change layer option (send layer to front or back). I can no longer us the delete key to erase. I have to type erase/hit enter/highlight area/and enter command.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Hi,

it's obvious that your settings - some how - modified and change for a reason . please try to :

change PICKFIRST system variable = 1 .
make sure that DBLCLKEDIT system variable is ON .
from OPTIONS command >> User Preferences check your right click customization .

Regards,
