problem with measuregeom

Hi,

I've been using autocad for a few months now and recently a problem occured. 

When ik want to use QUICK MEASUREGEOM then the little white menu pops up where i can choose, DISTANCE, RADIUS, ANGLE, AREA, VOLUME, QUICK, MODE and EXIT. When I hit QUICK then the menu doesnt disappear, it keeps popping up and i cant use this tool anymore.

This problem started a few weeks ago and is very annoying, because i realy like to measure up things with this tool.

Anybody got a solution for this problem?

 

Thanks in advance

Davy

Do you have the latest updates installed? Can you post a screenshot so we can see what you see?

The latest updates are installed.

The white menu i was talking about is this one on the screenshot.

This menu keeps popping up everytime i hit the QUICK button. All the other options are working properly.

Any thoughts on this problem?

Does restarting AutoCADLT fix the problem?
Did you get a new mouse or change mouse drivers?

Can you post screenshot of your ABOUT command pop-up please?

Just type ABOUT at the command line, hit <enter> key on your keyboard, and it will come up.

Perfect: you are up to date. So that does not explain why 2020.1.2 here does not behave like yours does.

What is your DYNMODE set to? 3 over here.
Did you by chance use the migration tool to move content from an older version over to 2020 when you started using it?

My DYNMODE is also set to 3

Not sure if i used imigration tool.

I only opened some free cadblocks in Autocad 2020 LT. I never had an other version before.

When I first used Autocad in october MEAGEOM worked fine, and then suddenly I got this "error".

Maybe I did an certain command without knowing it that blocked the option of QUICK MEAGEOM, I dont know...

It might be a good time to reset AutoCAD if you are open to the idea, like this https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to...
