    Default PICKFIRST set to 1 - what else is wrong?

    Alright, I'm stumped. My PICKFIRST & PICKAUTO is set to 1. However, I must triple left-click to edit text. I'm not certain when or what changed to make this happen.

    The double left-click on a text item will start the appropriate text editor, but it requires to select the text again. This is where the triple click is coming from.

    My hatch editing is not working as expected either.

    Any suggestions?

    DBLCLKEDIT is set to 1, which is allowing me to double click on various items and the corresponding command will start. It appears that the command forgets which item I double clicked on, kind of like the implied selection set is not being held.

    I tried to duplicate the behavior you are seeing and was unsuccessful. Try using the System Variables tool in Express to save your settings. Do this again on a computer that is working properly. Compare the files to see what is different. You can use a text compare program to make that task a bit easier. I use compare.exe but there are many free ones out there available to download.

    Line from my acaddoc.lsp file
    Code:
    (if (/= (getvar 'qaflags) 0)(progn(setvar 'qaflags 0)(princ "\nqaflags reset to 0.")))
    Might be worth searching your lisp for it. I've used it in the past, but always reset it in the routine.

    Good idea, however, I rarely mess with that variable (if ever) in my routines. Since I am the only one programming in this office, I should have nothing to worry about.
