2005 LT - turn off "pop-up" menus? 2

[Spclk1981]

My company has "upgraded" my department from R14 to 2005LT. My problem is, that I type commands, I don't use menus or anything.

It's really hindering me and getting annoying when the menus pop up when using the second (right) mouse button as an "enter" key. For example, I used to hit "z" "enter" "a" to zoom all. Now, it's "Z" "enter" "a" "enter" and then the menu pops up and I have to select "all".

Same with repeating a previously used command, the menu pops up.

Is there any way to turn these off?

Do you have in the Options dialog, under User Preferences a RightClick Customization button?

What do ya know, I do!

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I appreciate it! You just took away a headache

I kind of wonder how close to retirement
you are. I too preferred typing rather
than the scroll downs. Guys who used the
menus continually eventually were faster
than my typing. I started out with ACAD9
when it was back in the DOS days.
I too have LT version and found that drop
down bothersome. Thanks Borgunit.
Gave you a star!

Diamondjim,

Actually I am 24 years old this Sunday

I started with AutoCAD 10 (DOS-based) when I was in 8th grade, so I was like 13-14.

I am just MUCH faster with typing the commands. It's kind of funny actually, I don't even think about what to type anymore, my brain just processes in AutoCAD commands and I type away. Kinda messes me up when I am writing a document in Word for one of my classes, and I type "qsave" and hit enter.

If you prefer typing your commands, you might enjoy "cmddia", in addition to the dialog box returned at selecting "options", as mentioned in an earlier (excellent)post.

"cmddia" accepts 0 or 1 & off or on, and temporarily disables/enables command dialog boxes. I use this extensively in menu macros that want direct input maybe from the output of a previous command, and I want to avoid the annoyance of LISP workarounds.

There are also dialog box-less versions of almost every command that uses a dialog box. Precede the command name with a dash "-"; ex- "-layer" and get the old command-line response for the layer command!

Used to 1-key or 2-key shortcuts? Try creating a command "alias" using the dashed version of the command, in addition to the conventional aliases you've defined. You'll FLY!

Good Luck!
