Move command doesn't behave as expected

I am following the Create and edit objects using dynamic input tutorial but the move command demonstrated doesn't move the objects. Behaviour is as shown in the video up to the point when pressing Enter to finish the command. The only difference I've noticed is that in the command line the coordinates are prefixed by an "@" symbol [ie. @(0,0) instead of just (0,0)].

 

I am using AutoCAD 2025.

@giafil007 ,

 

Change the Format to Absolute coordinates:

Hi,

 

as shown, the difference is the DYNPICOORDS setting [F1]

 

But the setting doesn't matter for " move command demonstrated doesn't complete." or complete.

(the result is different, but in both cases the move command should end well)

 

Please, do this:

type in DYNPICOORDS<enter>1<enter> or use the GUI Way (see Valentins post above)

Re Open the file and try what you see in the video from 1:18

1. Start MOVE command

2. type in ALL and press <enter>

3. press <enter> again

4. click for the startpoint

5. 0,0

The Move command should stop now

Press [F2]

To be clear the command did complete but not in the way I had expected. I'll update the title of this post for clarity.

ah, okay (&good)

 

About AutoCAD&Toolsets coordinate input:

 

Absolute coordinates = starting from 0,0,0

Relative coordinates =  starting from "the given point"

 

 There is a classic (commandline only) Input mode (cursor near) and a "dynamic Input" mode. Setting: DYNMODE [F1]

 

- X,Y(,Z) in dynmode(if dynpicoords is set to 0) = relative coordinates, based on the current BKS

- X,Y(,Z) in classicmode and in dynmode(if dynpicoords is set to 1) = absolut coordinates, based on the current BKS

 

- #X,Y(,Z) in classicmode and in dynmode = absolut coordinates, based on the current BKS

- @X,Y(,Z) in classicmode and in dynmode = relative coordinates, based on the current BKS

- *X,Y(,Z) in classicmode and in dynmode = absolut coordinates, based on the WCS
