Good morning,
I would like to report a very weird behavior that I have been experiencing lately when i try to use the "Stretch, Add Vertex, Convert to Arc" features/options, whenever i hove to a point i get the context menu next to the mouse pointer, but as soon as i move my mouse to select it, the context menu goes away, i am not able to select any of the options the context menu just disappears as soon as the mouse moves.
How can i select those options? is there some option i can modify to make the context menu "stay" a bit longer to allow me to pick the option i want?
I am using Autocad LT 2015 and windows 10.
Best regards

Well... I can say that my colleague is using windows 7 and it works perfectly fine with windows 7 on her's.
She hoves over the point she gets the context menu with the "stretch add vertex and convert to arc" and is able to pick the option with the mouse cursor.
But assuming this changed because of the operating system? you think that is possible?
thank you for your time.
Looks like your posting in the forums for the first time, WELCOME!
To add to this thread you need to make sure that you have applied all updates/service packs to your AutoCAD LT 2015.
It could be the adjustment of operating systems that might be causing some issues. Can you confirm that you applied all service packs?

This is happening to me too. In fact, I recently switched to a laptop with windows 10, but I use a 22" screen to work with.
I noticed that if I'm working on the laptop screen this works, but if I drag the autocad window to the 22" screen and try to use the dynamic menu on hatchs or polylines the menu disappears when I try to choose an option.
Do you think you can help me?
Thank you so much!
Hi @ diana.francisco,
Welcome to the AutoCAD LT forum.
I'd be happy to try and take a stab at your problem.
Let's see;
What type of resolution if your 22" screen?
Have you noticed an issue with other AutoCAD LT releases?
What AutoCAD LT version are you using?
Hi Emmseleys!
Thanks for trying to help me!
I'm using AutoCAD LT 201, the some one I used before, with windows 7. Before, with windows 7, I only had a desktop and a 20'' screen (I don't know what the resolution was).
Currently my 22'' screen has 1920x1080 resolution.
I've never tried another version of AutoCAD on this computer, but we'll get some licenses for AutoCAD LT 2018. Do you think tht with a newer version it will work?
Thank you so much,
Diana
Hey @Anonymous,
Sorry but you actually left out the last number of what version you are using... If it's 2017 there is an update that can be applied to handle high-resolution monitors. It was included in the coding for 2017 and 2018.
If you're currently working with a release lower than 2017 you can try the suggested workarounds here:
Post back with any updates.
Checking back with you, post with any new updates if you need continued help on your thread.
Thanks for your time.
I've always had the same problem since this feature was implemented.
I found that I have to move the mouse VERY quickly across to the box, trying to avoid the tip of the mouse passing over any part of the screen, in order to be able to use the add vertex etc options. Too slow, or passing over any part of the window on the way to the box makes the box vanish.
It's been like that in every version including C3d 2018.
Of course, since Autodesk BROKE this feature in release 2018 (so that you can now only do it once and then have to deselect the object and reselect it to do it again) I've started using pedit again because it is far more reliable.
No custom mouse, no 3rd party drivers, just the same bug that's afflicting several people, using both C3d 2018 and Map 2018, which Autodesk has known about for a while. ie The menu does not come up a second time. You have to deselect and reselect the polyline or else run a regen in between commands or use pedit.
As detailed in this thread https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-map-3d-forum/grips-bug-with-map-3d-2018/m-p/7108738#M49961
They're all built on the same core software with many bugs shared between all of them. and many settings and features likewise. Therefore my initial post was completely relevant.
Anyhow, I didn't know I was IN the AutoCAD 'light' forum because they all look exactly the same when they load from Google. I saw a big A with the word AutoCAD. If Autodesk chooses to give similar names to their products and make all the forums look the same, they can expect cross-posting.
Shrugs.
I was having the same issue on a laptop running Windows 10 and Autocad 2018. A desktop version of 2018 also running 2018 did not have the same issue. I resolve the issue by going to the Display properties in settings and changed the scaling option from its recommended 125% to 100%. Once I changed the scaling, the context menu worked perfectly.
Hi!
This solution did acually work. But maybe I dont want 120% on my 25 inch screen.
Any other solutions are welvcome, but works for now. Thank you!
