hello 

I have an issue with autocad startup 

when i open the cad for the first time it automatically goes with drawing 1 but all my shortcuts & commands goes wrong for example when I hit "S" and press enter , it asks for "SAVE" command while it have to be "Stretch " 

I solved it by closing the "DRAWING 1" and open a new "drawing 1" and all goes to the normal ... 

PLS help me I really got tired of this ...

Hi,

 

Maybe this happened because of transferring settings from version to another, i suggest to reset your AutoCAd to default >> Link << .

Dear Mr. archiranbastan

 

In order to avoid the Lisp routine being loaded every time when you are opening a drawing, please find the screen cast attached below.

 

 

Hope this could help you out

 

Regards

i don`t talk about any custom lisp ... its my default commands that are changing ... the autocad has some issue with its own commands that when I close all drawings and open a new one it will be automatically fixed ... I want to know whats wrong with my cad ...

The way AutoCAD behaves depends on how it was started.  If you start AutoCAD by clicking on a desktop shortcut, the settings are decided by the properties of that shortcut. When you double click on a drawing to start, AutoCAD starts in the drawing folder with the same settings as the last launch.  If LSP files or VLX files are in the support or trusted paths folders or if the ACAD.PGP is being accessed from another folder, then things behave differently.

 

Strong suggestion:  Never save any drawing as drawing1.  Give it a real name.

Did you try the Reset as suggested above by :

 

 

Is this just vanilla AutoCAD or a vertical of AutoCAD such as AutoCAD MEP?

 

If vanilla AutoCAD:

Are you launching via a desktop icon?  If so, right-click it and check the Properties.  In the Target on tab Shortcut, it should read similar to:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\acad.exe" /product ACAD

Are there any other switches?  Such as /p that points to a profile?

 

If you tried the Reset, then you may try going to your Control Panel / Programs and run a Reinstall.  Or even uninstall and reinstall.

I have had clients reporting problems with profiles, so the Reset and/or Reinstall should rebuild the default Profile.  Are you using a custom profile?

 

By the way, the Drawing1 is a default name AutoCAD uses, it isn't a template.  Look in your Options, Files tab, Template Settings to find template listings.  To stop AutoCAD form going directly to Drawing1, at the command prompt enter: STARTUP and set it to 3.
