So what changed since that 16+year old software was current? Or have you put up with this issue for that long? Something changed... .

Perhaps you are loading an external AutoCAD ARG profile file and it is doing that for you. Or you have something changing DBLCLICKEDIT or SHORTCUTMENU variables for you. Or your Windows Registry file is corrupt and AutoCAD cannot write to it.

- In the options menu : Set your right click customization as desired 

- In the options menu : Go to Profiles, Select Add to List, & set your profile name then apply & close

- Re-select the profile you have just created & click Set Current, apply, ok 

 

Should be that simple, let me know if it works out.

 

Best regards,

ps. Autocad 2000 works just as well as newer versions in my opinion.

Hey Dean, what type of work do? Are you a developer? Which 2015-2016 commands are you using anyways ?

I've spent 14 years designing in engineering offices and i am still using the same 25 commands i did when i was learning autocad on version 2000.

I'm an end user of AutoCAD just like you, in the AEC industry, been using AutoCAD since R0009 in DOS and currently using R2016. I find that I pick up new commands and methods of doing things along the way but if your "25 commands" are core functions that's probably correct for all of us users.
