More irritating "advanced" features.
 

Hi

From Lynn Allen Blog:

If you've upgraded to AutoCAD 2006 - there's a very handy feature you might
never trip across unless someone mentions it to you. Holding down the shift
key in a command will temporarily toggle Orthomode. Unlike hitting F8 or
selecting Ortho from the status bar, this is only temporary - it only
toggles the setting while the shift key is held down, and then puts it back
to it's original value...give it a whirl!

This is bloody irritating because it prevents the @ symbol (or any other
shift items) from displaying until it's finished toggleing.

The number of times I've been cought out by this.

Unfortunately she doesn't say how to disable it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave F.

Shoot.

Obviously the wrong NG.
