command sugestions list/dropdown gone?

[J maison]

Hello

the list that normally droped down when I started typing a command has gone from a newer verson I installed? anyone know were I go to get it back?

It's been a while since I used cad and I've forggoten so much that it would be very helpful to get the drop down when I type "f" for instance the list would show up by my mouse with Fillet and of commands starting with the letter f.

thank you

Right click in your commandline, then set your AUTO COMPLETE preferences there.

Are you using AutoCAD 2010?

 

I believe autocomplete is only available in 2012.

thanks that explains everything! i took a corse & was told 2012 and 2010 were almost identicle, didn't think it wouldn't be there. That sucks as I really liked that feature specially when starting out as it's a great refresher/guide.

oh well I'll have to do without! J.

As others have said, Autocomplete is new to 2012, but you can still get similar results in older versions by typing a few letters, then using the TAB key to cycle through a list commands that begin with what you typed. When the right command is displayed, just hit
