[john.forman]

Is it possible to set the copy command to default to only copy once?

In the meantime you could create a small LISP Macro to take care of what you require.

Have a good one, Mike

Add this to your acad2005.lsp file in your support directory:

(DEFUN C:CC ()(COMMAND "COPY")(PRINC))

Restart AutoCAD and type CC at the command line. It defaults back to 2004 command sequence for some reason.

You can also test it by pasting the string directly into the command line and pressing enter, then typing CC.

Hope it helps,

Jeremiah

Thanks for passing this on. It seems to be exactly what I was after.

Is it possible to set the copy command to default to only copy once?

I just wanted to put my 2 cents on the new copy command. At first I hated it. I wanted to change it. Made my two lisp routes, added a couple of buttons, one for the single and one for the multiple. Then I realized I got tired of picking the button for the single copy and over time I got use to the new copy command. I realize that it took about a good week for me to change my habits, if I need to copy just one thing, I hit the spacebar or right-click. However the strangest thing happen, I didn’t realize how much multi-copy I really do in a project. Plus I think I’ve changed the way I’ve worked a little, maybe a little faster. All I’m saying, nobody likes change, but give this new command a chance…you might be surprised after a while you might like it…

Point well taken, I actually do all of my stretch/copy/move/rotate/mirror commands with grips, you eliminate abunch of clicks that way.

Pick the object, grab the grip, hit the spacebar once and you are in multiple copy, hit it again and your done. Also, if you have the double acting right click set up in options you can do a quick right click for enter (don't need to pick it from the pop-up menu).

Good call,

Jeremiah

Hi Jeremiah

can you help? i can use your LSP in acad2005 but it will not work in 2005LT. Is there anyway you can change the copy command in AutoCAD 2005LT to just copy once.

Thanks Scott
