Mac option-copy drag and shift-ortho drag stopped working

[Anonymous]

Has anyone else had this problem?

I have tested other applications and since the majority of Mac apps all work the same, the Mac option-copy drag and shift-ortho drag still work. It is only a AC problem.

I have tried to change the work environment to the Standard Profile 11 but that doesn't help.

I have tried a New and Reset and that doesn't help.

Maybe I accidentally clicked a keyboard command that turns these options off.

For a copy, option-click once you have dragged the element to its final place.

Check your mouse constraints for the ortho problem.

Thanks. However, this is something new that has happened today. I've been option dragging and shift dragging since version 6. Until today....

The Orthogonal Grid is selected. It makes no difference. I still have the same problem.

I have noticed that this can be a flaky function.

I see you are using a Laptop. What mouse and keyboard are you using? If bluetooth I have found this happen on occasion and turning the mouse off waiting for the computer to acknowledge and then turning it back on can fix the problem.

I am using the Macbook keyboard and a Kensington Mouse.

However, even the touch pad on the mouse and an external USB keyboard I tried makes no difference.

Any other ideas?

Have you had the same problem?

The command click for making 2 roofs intersect is also not working.

So now it is a rectangular frisbee and that is that.

Funny but...

Joking aside, I share this issue from time-to-time. It just seems to get "lost." Restarting is my fix.
