Hi Ladies and Gents, I am having the same problem with my 2018 SP1 version of DS. It is identical in nature to that posted earlier by Trevor Nutt:

' I've done some searching but have not found anything like the problem I am experiencing.

first some facts: Draftsight 2018 SP1, intel x64 processor, Dell 7710. windows 10 pro, version 1709, OS Build 16299.125

This problem existed in 2018 sp0 as well, but i have upgraded to make sure there hadn't been a fix. I have 2018 sp0 on another machine and it is not exhibiting this problem.

I have trouble with entering typed commands. using just the built in shortcuts with no customization, I have a problem where I enter a command but the previous command executes instead. it may do that 2 or 3 times before the entered command runs. most often happens after I type E and a spacebar for Delete. it lets me delete, but if I try to say draw a line using L and spacebar, I get Delete again. worse when it happens that I delete something and then want to undo. it keeps trying to delete. I can't keep track of what was undone and what wasn't.

2017 didn't act this way, no free version that I ever used before worked this way, but now that I have a paid version and have updated it, the problem has arisen.

I have turned off auto completion, i've changed the delay time

I saw a post somewhere about some commands need an extra enter at the end, but that isn't really the case with the problems I have the most. Even when I esc. twice before trying to draw a line, I still get the previous delete command. the problem is not restricted to just the command examples I have given. I have problems with just about any command entered. working from the toolbars or ribbon work fine.

Now, for a good natured heads-up: i'm a very old cad dog here. been using Autocad since Release 11 (not 2011. release 11). not as old as some, but its a respectable run. command line is life. if i'm in cad, i'm using a command line. when I use Solidworks, I don't have the problem with toolbars or ribbon. 2d CAD is wrong without the command line. lets not entertain the idea that switching to toolbars or ribbon is an *acceptable* solution in this case. ;)

I want to think this started after a recent Windows Update, but I am not sure because I had just resigned myself to wrestling with it.

I have changed keyboards, but it has not solved the problem.'

The suggested tips were attempted, such as resetting DS back to its default settings, however the problem still persists. Like many old CAD dogs I find entering commands, at least 50% of the time, to be the most efficient way of working and so it is imperative that a solution is found otherwise I feel that I will have no alternative than to revert back to AutoCAD.

Thanks,

Alex
