I'm using Civil 3D 2010 and cannot select objects before typing in the command. When i select an object to rotate it and and press "RO" it then prompts me to select the object when i before it would just prompt me to select the rotation angle, has anyone else come accross this issue?

set "pickfirst" to "1", otherwise you have to start the command first, then select. While you're at it, check that is "pickadd" is also "1", another system variable that bites people's a**.

Glad to help; AutoCAD has so many ways to annoy (OK and help) Smile
