Using the delete key to erase an object 1

[ronhollenbeck]

I am using Autocad 2000 with windows 98. When I select an object and press the gray "Delete" key nothing happens. On every other computer in the company pressing the delete key will cause the selected object to be erased. How do I enable this feature?

Thanks,

Ron

You should set PICKFIRST system variable to value 1.
Type PICKFIRST on Command: and change its value from 0 to 1.

The following is from AutoCAD help:

PICKFIRST controls whether you select objects before (noun-verb selection) or after you issue a command.

0 Turns off PICKFIRST; you select objects after you issue a command
1 Turns on PICKFIRST; you select objects before you issue a command
