Move/Copy command to relative coordinates not working

[jellisNXHKP]

Hello all,

I'm having trouble with my move and copy commands.  In the past i have always selected object, clicked basepoint and entered my desired coordinates ex. (3,4,5).  This would move the object to that location.

For some reason today, this no longer works.  After I select my basepoint, cad will only give me an option to enter one dimension and an angle?  See attached screenshot.

Any ideas how to get back to being able to enter relative dimensions?

I am running Autocad 2020 and Fabcad MEP 2020

Thanks for posting your question to the forum.  What is your PICKFIRST system variable set to?   

Thanks

What happens if you type 3, in the input box?  You should then be able to enter 4, in the second box and then enter 5 in the third box.

Two display two boxes for the Cartesian format rather than Polar format when specifying a second point, try the following:

1. Type DSETTINGS at the command prompt.
2. In the Drafting Settings dialog box, click the Dynamic Input tab.
3. Under Pointer Input, click Settings.
4. In the Pointer Input Settings dialog box, click Cartesian format.
5. Click OK twice.

Now select the objects to move/copy and the specify a base point, now you should see fields for X and Y.  Does that get you what you were previously looking for?

It actually seems to be affected by my object snap somehow, if i turn off object snap and select basepoint it allows me to enter my coordinates.  If osnap is on and my pointer finds a snap point between the time i select my basepoint and get my hand to the keyboard to enter coordinates, it wont allow me to enter.

IDK i guess i have a work around, but it is frustrating.

Based on that information, can you check the value of the OSNAPCOORD system variable?  It should be 2 by default.

Instead of pressing Tab, to move input fields, what happens when you press comma?
