Useful commands you wish you had know about before...

Hi

Anybody know how I can get my osnap menu back when I press shift+right-click?

Try the following thread from the AutoCAD FAQ forum -

Mouse right click button playing you up

Also, why double clicking on text doesn't do anything? I have already checked dblclickedit variable.

System variable PickFirst must also be set to 1 for Double Click Edit to work.

Have a good one, Mike

ohh I believe it, I deal with alot of very old legacy drawings that have been floating around for years....you have no idea how happy I was when Acad enhanced the purge command to automatically purge nested items and purge w/o confirming.
That and a lisp routine called shortsym are my friends. I'm also very happy that the layer command will now delete the layer filters for you if they exceed the actual number of layers in dwg. I have a legacy drawing in front of me now that has 100 layers and about 2000 filters (most of them empty). thanks for the info-

I also would like to know what shortsym is.
