Using AutoLISP During AutoCAD 2022 Command Freezes Screen

LouderCAD — Tue, 11 May 2021 14:25:13 GMT

I use AutoLISP expressions or functions in the middle of AutoCAD commands like copy and move occasionally. When I try to do this in AutoCAD 2022, the screen freezes until I hit the ESC key. Anyone else experiencing this behavior?

Example:

1. Start the copy command

2. Select object(s)

3. Select base point

4. Type (getpoint) and hit Enter

5. Screen freezes

6. Hit ESC key to return to copy command

Which "autolisp" is that exactly? can you share examples?
All of ours work fine in our office in R2022.

I was trying to enter a custom relative point and/or midpoint AutoLISP function and both caused the AutoCAD screen to freeze. As I said in the original post, while in the copy or move command, type (getpoint) and the screen will freeze.

From Mike Fottrell of Autodesk:

Hello, and thank you for contacting our AutoCAD Engineering Feedback alias.

This is definitely a bug. Sorry about that. We have found the issue and should have it fixed in the next update.
