Repeat numbers typed with arrow keys

Hello, I'm trying BricsCAD and I'm finding it good, but there is a behavior that i used in AutoCAD that i can't reproduce in BricsCAD.

In AutoCAD, setting the INPUTHISTORYMODE = 0 variable allowed me to scroll through the entered numbers with the arrow keys, example:

Line command;
I clicked the start point;
I typed 1000, 1750, 600, by pressing the arrow keys i could scroll through the previous values ​​without having to type them again and i confirmed them with the Enter key.

In BricsCAD there is no INPUTHISTORYMODE variable, and if i use the arrow keys it does nothing, is there any setting that allows me a similar behavior?

Thank you.

  • Not sure if I got your question right.

    But for dynamic inputs in Bricscad,
    you can switch with TAB key (or ALT+TAB ? backwards) between the inputs
    and edit values as much and often as you want.
    Only the final ENTER will finally execute them.

    Hi, sorry to respond so late. With the TAB key nothing happens, should i enable something?

    PS: Another example, select an object, command Move, move the mouse to the right, type 200 and confirm with Enter. I select the object again, command Move, move the mouse to the left, arrow up and confirm with Enter, the object returns to its original position.

    OK, not switching between input fields ....
    you want to reach your previous number inputs.
    Like in a DOS Window, where arrow keys bring and cycle
    through your previous command inputs ....

    I never heard of this function in a CAD before.
    And it looks like Bricscad does not offer this.
    At least I could not find any similar in Settings.

    Do you need that inside the command line ?
    EDIT :
    I see that arrow keys can at least cycle through latest
    commands (like in DOS)

    But if that is a feature in Autocad,
    Autocad functionality and compatibility has highest priority,
    chances are good that it could be added when you file
    a feature request for it.
  • Yes correct, exactly like DOS. Yes, in AutoCAD it's a fairly hidden option, i don't remember how i discovered that variable, but I've been using it for about a decade now and i'm sorry i don't have this function, i'll make a request to add this function.

    Thanks for the support.
  • I would also like this feature. I use it all the time. That's how I ended up here searching for it!
