Autocad doesn't take commands

Anonymous
Not applicable

My autocad mixes up commands.

For example when I type in "m" for move it almost immediately changes to "offset" or when I type in "J" for for join it says "Unknown command 'VKV'. Press F1 for help".

When I change "PICKFIRST" to "1" (although it was still 1) and I restart the computer the issue is temporally solved until it starts all over again....

Hi,

 

please start command _INPUTSEARCHOPTIONS and disable "Autocorrect" as well as "Enable Mid-string search" within "Enable AutoComplete" ... better?

Hi Alfred,

 

It was good until now... 

When I type in "j" it says "unknown command" or when I type in "co" it changes to offset. Or when I select an object and type in move and hit enter, I'm asked to select objects.

Hi,

 

>> When I type in "j" it says "unknown command"

This can be an issue with the settings mentioned above (like _INPUTSEARCHOPTIONS) or a defect/incorrect ACAD.PGP file or a loaded app/plugin.

 

If you have not done too many customization then you can reset the AutoCAD profile to default (>>>details<<<).

I've done what you suggested first but the issue came back.
So, I've reset autocad to default yesterday but I have a plug-in I had to reinstall. It's called VBexpress and it's for reinforced concrete design.

Did it work then (before reinstalling the plugin?
