Select Similar

[Anonymous]

I have noticed that my select similar is gone from popup on my cursor menu. I  can get it to work by typing command but it was so much more useful when it was on sort cut menu. also my delete no longer works.(select something hit delete but..GONE) I can erase but have to type E then select it... when I came in this week and updated these changes took place. Help, I want my familiar shortcut/helpers back.

Ensure the system variable PICKFIRST is set to 1.

I had to update my civil 3-d and I have lost my select sim again. I have changed the pick first but I did not get the command back.

Sorry for the slow reply, my apologies....

I would suggest looking into the link below. It covers Autodesk's recommended uninstall and reinstall procedures for AutoCAD. Whenever updates, etc. start to mess up commands and other functionality, it could be related to the software requiring a reinstall. If the software is not completely uninstalled, residual files may be left over and could impact the new install negatively.

Refer to the link below. Hope you can (or already have) gotten the issue resolved.  Happy New Year!
