Hi,
I am following a course led by an instructor using Autocad for PC. I am struggling with every time the instructor right clicks, receives a drop down menu of commands to proceed in the lesson. I cannot right click on my Mac. I have a mouse , but the right click does not show me any kind of drop down menu like what I am seeing in the course.
Help! thank you

I have a MacBook Air, functioning on macOS Monterey 12.5.1 My mouse is a Microsoft wireless mouse.
My question is , is there a way to make the right click of the mouse provide a drop down menu as on the PC? Or do I need to constantly find the alternate way to give the command on my AutoCAD for Mac?
Specifically at the moment I am working on a floorpan, and using layers, I am trying to "select similar" objects in my images. On a PC that comes as an option when you right click. I tried putting it into my command bar but it did not seem to function as the command I was looking for.
Thank you for your reply and your help.
Much appreciated
Hi @meravc18 ,
Can you use right-click (secondary click) for context menus in other applications on your Mac?
For example in Safari browser or in TextEdit app.
In addition, I have followed these steps Change the following settings:
However when I right click once I'm done setting up the above, the preference box pops up, over and over again.
Hi @meravc18 ,
You turned off shortcut menus yourself.
SHORTCUTMENU must be set to 1 so that the context menu appears when right-clicking.
I also don't understand how my preferences automatically reset and I need to continuously to the following
>>>>I am still unable to receive a drop down menu when I right click.
Have you tried another mouse?

What AutoCAD version do you use? Have you installed latest Updates to it?
I have autos 2024, there are no updates available, and I have tried three separate mouses...the same thing keeps happening with each mouse.

Can you share screenshot of "About AutoCAD" window - menu AutoCAD -> About AutoCAD.
It should look like this:
And AutoCAD version should be at least 2024.1
After installing the latest Update, try to Reset AutoCAD - menu AutoCAD -> Reset AutoCAD
Yes, you need to install this update:

You can download it from your Autodesk account
It worked!! I reset as you instructed and it works! Thank you so much, I was starting to lose my mind over this.
Thank you again.
