"Unknown Command" response to common commands

Anonymous — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 17:00:03 GMT

Hello

I am having an issue using my commands in AutoCAD. Almost all of my shortcuts for commands have stopped working. For example, when trying to type “PL” for “POLYLINE” or “M” for “MOVE” I receive this response: “Unknown Command”. For some of these commands if I type in the full spelling, for example “MOVE”, it will execute the command, but for others, such as when I fully type “POLYLINE”, the command is still unknown.

This issue suddenly occurred while in the middle of working on a project. My software is up to date as well.

Any suggestions?

Try a period prefix (.LINE or .RAY) --- do they work okay?

I would not reset my settings for this unless you don't mind setting your custom stuff back up.

It just sounds like you've lost access to your PGP file, or maybe your AcadDoc.lsp file, where these shortcuts can be defined.

I think resetting it worked! Thanks!

FYI: POLYLINE is not a command name. So it stands to reason that it would return unknown command.
