autoCAD light command issues

[siobhanmonaghan]

Hi, I have recently renewed my subscription. Have there been changes in autoCAD light to some of the commands? For example now when I click on a line it does not give me its properties in the layer manager box? Also 'match properties' command does not seem to work as it did previously? is there an issue do you know? I feel like there is a glitch in my product since I renewed the licence. Thanks, Siobhán

Hi,

>>"Have there been changes in autoCAD light to some of the commands?"

Since when / what version?

What is your current productversion, check out command: ABOUT

>>"when I click on a line it does not give me its properties in the layer manager box?"

You will never see lineobject properties in layerproperties manager dialog/palette.

I don't know what you talking about, but I am pretty sure - it was never the case or it is still the same.

 >>" 'match properties' command does not seem to work as it did previously?"

It does

>>"is there an issue do you know?"

I don't know about issues, write about more concrete details / share samples

@siobhanmonaghan Are you on a MAC or PC?

What does the pop-up for ABOUT command inside your year-version of LT state you are using? Share that screenshot here please.

ARE your PICKFIRST and PICKADD not set to the defaults listed in HELP?

Do you just need to RESET your LT to remove any bad install issues?

Hi, thank you so much for the reply.
I am on a PC. Product version U.63.0.0 autocadLT 2024, see attached.
What values should PICKFIRST and PICKADD be please?
I don't know how to reset LT, can you advise please?
Also, another question, in some drawings everything in paperspace is white,
although not white in model space, do you know why?

Thanks for your help Pendean, I am a lone worker and have to work out all
my I.T. issues by myself, not ideal but good for learning I guess!

you need to install the 2024.1.5 Update: ABOUT command in your AutoCAD will confirm what you have installed. If not, get it from your Autodesk Account Page here https://manage.autodesk.com/cep/#products-services/updates
Restart your PC afterwards.

HELP inside the program is where you look for such answers, like here

I provided the link in my earlier reply, here it is again, but make sure you backup your settings first

You control that all the time. OPTIONS command in AutoCAD/LT, DISPLAY TAB, COLORS buttons, modelspace background colors, like this

Nothing above was a result of just renewing a license (a financial transaction between your bank and the Autodesk bank): you did more most likely, like actually install different/new software perhaps?
