Command Issues, Cannot select the object first.

[acjwalker]

I have just come in after the wekend off and my autocad 2010 is doing something very strange.

 

The way I usually work is i select an object and then type m to move it, then i move it done. But now i select the object type M it deslect5s everything and i have to select the object again.

 

I know with some commands this is the way you work e.g. slice.

 

But this is getting on my wick, what has happened? I have replaced my acad.pgp file with my own one and it still does it.

 

ANy help?

Type PICKFIRST at the command line and change the setting to 1.

In a hurry so won't double check if I'm right:

 

Tools: Options: Selection: Noun/Verb.

Yes, ticking the Noun/Verb checkbox or setting the Pickfirst variable to 1 will achieve the same result. Just two different ways to do the same thing. Either method will solve the problem.
