NOTE: "PICKFIRST" variable does not correct this issue.
When I select an object, then issue a command, CAD is then asking me to perform the action again. For example, I select a line, right click and pick the "select similar" command. CAD will then select all line on the same layer as the one I selected. Then, while all these items are selected, I again right click and choose "display order" and "send to back". At this point, CAD asks me to select which objects. In the past, up until today, it would have moved all the selected lines to the back. Another example, I select an alignment, then right click, then choose "Offset Alignment" in the ribbon. It then asks me to select the alignment (even though I had it selected to issue the command). I have already tried the "pickfirst" setting and that did not solve the problem. Any help is much appreciated!

Pickfirst, then select a command, option enabled?

No word about the setting value he tried 🙂
Select a line and TYPE IN: selectsimilar<enter>
Is it working now?
In this case you or a tool you used changed your qaflags setting.
Make sure the bit 1 is not set (for beginners without the knowledge: set qaflags to 0)

@Kent1Cooper see my response in bold.
Select a line and TYPE IN: selectsimilar<enter>
Is it working now? - Yes this part works. Then, while all items are still selected from the "selectsimilar" command, I right click and choose display order / move to back. Instead of moving all the selected similar items to the back as it always has in the past, it asks me a again to choose which items to move to the back.

@Kent1Cooper , I then followed your directions and tried the qaflags to 0. That fixed it. Thanks so much, you saved me so much grief!!!

[Not my directions -- I don't think I would have thought of that solution.]
