Autocad starts the wrong command.

[Anonymous]

If I try to enter a two letter command on the command line autocad seems to pick a different command.  Example is I want to CO for copy it starts the circle command C. Why does it do this?

Changing the settings or turning it off all together will probably resolve your issue.

Like Chris said. Typically you just need to adjust the timer a little bit because it seems to be that if the timer is just finishing for AutoComplete and you push enter it will take the autocompleted word.

Hi,

i suggest to check these commands from ALIASEDIT command.

Thanks for the timer suggestion!

CO is a big reach on the keyboard so it takes just the wrong amount of time for the new autocomplete feature and evokes circle rather than copy

For years I would set C as the shortcut for copy, but after upgrading machines enough times and issues with losing profiles, I learned all the default shortcuts.

Somewhere in there I had gone through a Lisp phase which was handy if I was using someone else's computer.  Surprised I still remember:   (Defun C:C () (Command "copy"))

Anyways my point is: Who draws more circles than they use copy.  Copy should have been the C shortcut all along!
