Disable multiple Copy in AutoCAD 2005

[robert.1.hall72202]

How do I disable multiple copy on AutoCad 2005????

[MikeM4OSU]

I created a lisp for the old copy command for Acad 2002 so that it would be easier for me to use one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse. I used cc for copy instead of co. It was simple and worked for me, however when 2005 came out the multiple copy did not work for me, so I had to tweak my lisp file to get it to work. Here is the lisp that I used to get just a single copy: (defun c:cc () (command "copy"))

Hope this helps.

Hi

Check out the following thread in the AutoCAD Tips-n-Tricks (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=180) Forum -

keyboard commands tweaked (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=15874)

Have a good one, Mike

That would work, but I am thinking there is a system variable somewhere???

There is no system variable that controls this (as far as I am aware).

Thanks for the tip.....I now have C set to run the routine, instead of AutoCad's "I didn't ask you, but here goes," multiple copy.

OK - It's obvious that some people like the multiple copy and some don't. Maybe a system variable is the answer. My question is how did this get changed in the first place? Was this on the top 10 request list? Somebody must have requested it.

BTW - I love it. Finally got rid of my multiple copy lisp. ;)

You can check out this thread in the Wish List Forum for the request to have it changed slightly

Ok, there you go people. The users requested this feature. Quit griping about it :)

Lynn Allen was at AUGI CAD Camp in Fort Worth a few weeks ago. One of the classes she led talked about the new features in r2005, and she touted the fact that the COPY command defaulted to multiple. Isn't that cool?' , she said. 'No....', I thought. But the ECS key is easy to press, often.

As memory serves me I remember r14 was set up this way and I was bummed when they took it out in 2000. It was definitely on my wish list'
