Shift selection problem

drh64 — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:31:27 GMT

I cannot select multiple items with holding down the shift key.

I have the same problem with Caps Lock in the On or Off mode...

Also, my Pick Up Parameters and my Inject Parameters shortcut keys seem to have changed.

Thanks for your help as I am trying to get a project out the door.....!!!

Can you tell us what AC version and OS you are using. It might help someone give the right answers. (For example, I don't think Caps Lock has had an effect since AC8). Place info in a signature in your profile.

You sure you don't have snap on. Hit S and try again.

These are hardwired functions of the program and shouldn't change.

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestions but the caps lock key does not affect this either.

I was also able to access the eye dropper with just the option key and now that's gone too!!!

I just uninstalled and reinstalled AC and that did not solve the problem!!!

Any more suggestions? Is this a Mac problem?

Tried using another keyboard?

It does not seem to be a hardware problem because the shift selection function works fine in other applications.

Any other suggestions by anyone would be very much appreciated as I am at a dead-end with this...

Create a new document using "New and Reset" and see if it has the same problem. It still smells like grid snap is turned on.

Grid snap is turned OFF.

I started a new drawing and reset the profiles and the problem is still there.

I am now on my way to get my other Imac from home because I am two days late on a project......

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for everyone help on this.

After talking to Graphisoft, I cleaned my cache and user preferences and that fixed the problem!

What cache were you removing?

I used a program called Leopard Cache Cleaner and did a 'deep cleaning'.

Did anyone find a solution to this problem? I seem to be afflicted with it. Anyone know what cache to clean out?

Thanks
