Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

I'm afraid that you have to expand the command line down there to see the results.

Hi @tcaglar

There are several possible reasons why the DISTANCE command might not be working in AutoCAD:

The command may be damaged or corrupt. You can try resetting the AutoCAD settings to their default values to see if this resolves the issue. To reset the settings, type "Reset Settings to Default" in the command line and press Enter.
There may be a problem with the .PGP file that stores the DISTANCE command. You can try renaming or deleting the .PGP file and restarting AutoCAD to see if this resolves the issue.
There may be a problem with the display configuration of your computer. You can try changing the display settings in AutoCAD to see if this resolves the issue. To do this, go to the "Display" tab of the "Options" dialog box and try changing the "Number of Colors" or "Resolution" settings.
There may be a problem with the graphics driver on your computer. You can try updating the graphics driver to see if this resolves the issue.

If none of these suggestions solve the problem, it may be worth checking for any updates or hotfixes for AutoCAD 2023 that could address the issue. You can check for updates by going to the "Help" tab of the ribbon and clicking the "Check for Updates" button.

That is crucial -- DISTANCE is not a command name, but a System Variable [holding the result of the latest DIST command]. The command name is only DIST [with or without the prefixed _ and/or .].
