    Default ACAD Problems

    I use ACAD '09 along with an add on package for the woodworking industry called Microvellum. All of a sudden, my delete button on my keyboard doesn't work anymore in ACAD (does in Excel and word) I also have the following issues:

    My Shortcut menu disappeared.

    I can no longer select things then enter a command, I have to type the command, then select objects.

    My layer tool bar is static on one layer, that is to say that when I select a line, it doesn't show that lines information. The properties palette still shows the correct information.

    The really weird thing is that one of my co-workers who I'm networked with is now having the same issues. We don't work on the same jobs together, and he's using ACAD '08.

    Any ideas?

    Sounds mainly as if PICKFIRST needs to be reset to 1 (not 0 ).

    Definitely PICKFIRST. Maybe your addon (or some other thing) changes this setting. It usually happens if the custom code needs to change something temporarily and ends unexpectedly, then it doesn't have time to set it back to normal.

    It is from a addon, lisp app or a macro. And it is from a badly written application where something has caused an exception to occur and the app is not handling the exception to change any settings back. Has nothing to do with time
