Support Question of The Day

How do I change the default behavior of the Copy Command so that it does not automatically go into Multiple mode?

At the end of this post is a set of LISP commands to turn off the Multiple copy default in AutoCAD. This set of instructions will work for versions 2005 to current.

Copy and paste the information to a text file and name it copy-single.lsp. Store it on your local c:\ drive in a location that will not be moved or deleted.

In AutoCAD, type APPLOAD at the command line. This will open up the Load/Unload Applications Dialog Box.

Click on the Contents button in the Startup Suite Area.

Now Click the ADD button.

Browse to the location where you saved the LSP file.

When you find the File, click ADD on the Add File to Startup Suite Dialog Box.

Then click Close. When AutoCAD is re-started the Copy command will behave as desired.

If you no longer want this functionality, remove the LSP from the startup suite and the Copy behavior will return to default.

Contents of LSP File:

(command ".undefine" "copy")
(defun c:copy ()
(command ".copy")
(princ)
)
