Autocad Copy Command Shortcut Key Issue

Anonymous
Not applicable

Recently installed Autocad 2018 LT. In the 2012 LT, I bound my mouse 4 button to the Copy Command with no issues by making my Mouse 4 button hit F11 (in logitech settings) and binding F11 to copy (in autocad shortcut keys settings). 

 

In the previous 2012 version I was able to select an object, press mouse 4 to copy, then select base point then copy to wherever.

 

In the 2018 version, I select the object, press mouse 4 to copy, and it deselects the object and then starts the copy command. I then have to reselect the object. 

 

How do I fix this? Pickadd is 2, Pickfirst is 1. It appears to only be an issue with the keyboard shortcut itself. I can type the command and it works as usual. 

 

I've noticed when I press Mouse 4 it initiates the command and when I let go it cancels. It works if I hold the mouse 4 button down as I copy.

 

I've even reset my autocad settings and set the binds from scratch and it still does this.... 

 

I've even bound my mouse 5 to match properties and this works perfectly find, it is only the copy command/mouse 4 button

What code did you add to your Logitech button customization to get button 4 to invoke the Copy command? Maybe there's an extra semicolon? Anyway, if you're able to post the complete input you used, maybe we'll see something...

In the logitech mouse settings there is an option to program buttons for specific programs. Theres no code really I just set mouse 4 to press f11 when in autocad.

 

This is what happens in the command line:


Command: _copy 1 found
Current settings: Copy mode = Multiple
Specify base point or [Displacement/mOde] <Displacement>: *Cancel*
Command:
Command: _copy
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 0 found
Select objects: *Cancel*

 

First line is when I intially press mouse 4. The third line is where I let go of the mouse 4 button.

 

The macro for the copy command in the shortcut keys is:

 

$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_copy,^C^C_copy) 

 

Is that what you are asking?

Did you try to use a different shortcut?

 

I'm using the same command (macro) for my mice (roccat kone xtd) with no issues (c3d as autocad 2016/8). I use ctrl+O, but it could be any.

 

BTW try to set TEMPOVERRIDES to 0?
