Command line next to cursor?

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:45:55 GMT

I had a problem this morning where for some reason I needed to do a drawing recovery on a map - which is fine, all seems well.

The problem is that now when I type a command, it doesn't appear next to the cursor anymore. It's not really a NEED having it there, but I've gotten to like that in the newer CAD versions, and now I can't find the setting that makes it come back. Sure I CAN type everything and have it show just at the bottom of the screen, but I'd rather have my dynamic field back.

Anyone know how I can restore it?

Hi,

you can switch the dynamic mode by:

change the sysvar DYNMODE to 3 (>>>details<<<)
press <F12>
click onto this button in the statusline on the bottom of the AutoCAD application window:

Thank you very much. I had a feeling it was one of those simple solutions I just couldn't locate...

You are the bomb!!! This crap was driving me crazy... I spent a better of a hour and half trying to fix it. You never realize how dependent you get on something some thing a simple as that. So, many thanks to you...

Hi,

>> at your 3rd bulletin point you said

These 3 items are all alternatives, each of them does the same, turning dynamic input on or off

>> when I type a command it still shows in the bottom left corner

If DYNMODE set to 3 does not show the keys types in near the cursor then verify that DYNPROMPT is set to 1.

Thanks!

Is there anyway I can lock this feature so it doesn't change back?

Hi,

It should not change.

If it changes on your side then use the SYSVARMONITOR (>>>details<<<) so you get informed when it changes, and so knowing then which function or which tool does that.
