I used to be able to hit Alt-J, right-click the mouse and I'de be in the Clean-Up menu.

Then I accidentally uninstalled 11, thinking I was uninstalling an unused 10, and after reinstalling 11 now I can't.

I hadn't made any modifications to be able to do that, so I don't understand how I could have lost it.

What function is your Alt+J taking you to now?

Could you open your dcadwin.mcr file in notepad and post the contents here?

It takes me to 2Line Cleanup like it always did, but I'm noticing that other shortcuts are missing, like Alt-L, which took me to L Corner Cleanup.

It makes no sense. It's the same program, from the same install, but all kinds of things are different.

Alt-R now takes me to Polygons and not Rectangle. I have to turn on Rectangle every time I go to it! Never had to before. It's like the program is coming apart at the seams. :lol:

The dcadwin.mcr file you posted appears to be a current version which in your case is a bad thing. You want the old shortcut methods.

The new method is:
J^51#^
//cleanup\2-line trim

The old method is:
J^;^F9^F5

The old method took you thru the menu steps to get you to a command. When you right click you would be stepped back out of the menus. The new method takes you directly to the command in one step. When you right click out you are taken back to the command you were in previously. You will have to decide if you want to always go back to the previous command or always go backwards thru the command structure.

If you want the old method cut and past the line listed above into your dcadwin.mcr over the line you have now.

Alt+L:
L^;^S7

Alt+R:
R^;^S4

As for why you are getting the different shortcuts, you had previously installed over an older version. During the upgrade it would have kept your old dcadwin.mcr file intact. With you recent install you probably had no old version that you were installing over top of so it had to put in the new versions.

Thanks. I figured it was the fresh install vs an upgrade. Thanks also for pasteclips.
