AC15- Find library part dropdown menu selection settings.

Anonymous
Not applicable
Having just upgraded to version 15 from 14, why is it that I can no longer hit 'Enter' on my keyboard when trying to find a library part from the drop down menu within the object menu?

When I hit 'Enter' the object library box disappears, instead of in the old versions where the library would be searched by hitting 'Enter'. Now I have to manually click the "Find library part' button on screen.

I know this seems like a trivial issue, but having used Archicad for years its hard to change the routine..

Anyone know if there is a setting that can be changed so 'Enter' will search for library parts instead of quitting out of the object library?

Jesus it's frustrating

I understand your frustration.
But I guess technically now it is correct as it is the OK button that is the default (highlighted) button so enter should activate this.

I don't believe there is anything you can do about this as I assume it is coded into the program.

You can hit TAB three times to highlight the FIND button but you may as well just click on it with your mouse.
