I would appreciate any advice if anyone else is experiencing this issue -

I am using a USB MS Office Keyboard and a 4 button USB mouse w/scroll. Coming from AutoCad 10 I learned and still use my own shortcut commands and I have the right mouse button setup to be 'Enter' in the command line.

Well the issue is that on a consistent basis I will type a two letter command (ex CC for copy) and hit my right button, the application picked up my right button before reading the 2nd C, so will initiate a 'C' or 'Circle' command. I have to pause between finishing typing and hitting the mouse button.

Doesn't seem like much, but for those others that are fast at using CAD you can see how irritating that can be when you are in a groove or flow of work.

I did not see this issue until going to 2004 and still saw int 2006 and 2007, but also changed to XP back when I got 2004, so not convinced that it is a CAD issue.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Charles

Maybe you can modify option for your mouse to customize user interface(CUI).
