Hi

OMG 10 years!!

This is a problem for me because i need to write everting in swedish with swedish letters which is not on the english keyboard.

I did not have this problem last week so it must be something i can change.

I think the reason for this is because we have the ALT-SHIFT shortcut to place the User Origin to a new node closest to our mouse cursor.
In Windows, this same ALT-SHIFT shortcut is the default for switching between keyboard layouts.
Under Windows 7, I can show you where to turn it off (also see attached image):

1. In Control Panels, go to the Region and Language Control Panel. In that Dialog, go to the Keyboards and Language tab page.
2. Click the Change Keyboards button.
3. In the new Dialog, switch to the Advanced Key Settings tab page.
4. Click the Change Key Sequence button at the bottom.
5. In the appearing Dialog, switch both settings to the Not Assigned radio buttons. Then click OK.

After this these settings of the system should not get mixed up with ArchiCAD shortcuts.

I tryed that shortcut in win 7 and it's not working at my place.This keyboard switching thing is rare in my case and it's not representing any problem to my workflow...

Hi

that was it.
I made the parameter change and then restarted the computer.
That fixed my problem.
Thank you!

Necko, then your problem must be something different.
By the way, have you tried restarting. I don't know if it is necessary, I have not tried it just now, but you might have to restart either ArchiCAD or the system.
