AutoCAD LT 2005 Copy as single copy

[s.prestidge]

Can anyone help?

The copy command has change in 2005LT & it multi copies as default & I can't find a way to change it to just copy once. Is there a way of changing it?

I have found out how to change the full version by using a LSP
(DEFUN C:CC ()(COMMAND "COPY")(PRINC)) but you can use LSP's in LT.

I hope someone has found a way to fix this problem & can help

Thanks Scott

You can simply change the button macro. The original should look something like:"^C^Ccopy ". Change it to add a pause for user input and then terminate with a return, like this:"^C^Ccopy \;".

thanks that works fine

what can you do if you don't use button & only use keyboard commands?

You would have to edit the menu's mns file and reload the menu. Close acad. Open acad.mns in Notepad and search for all occurances of the copy command's id "ID_COPY". You should find three, one for the popup menu, one for the toolbar, and one for the help string. Edit the macro portion for the popup to work the same as the toolbar. The keyboard shorctuts use the popup version. After you restart acad, it should automatically notice the newer version of the mns and recompile the mnc and mnr files.
