What´s wrong?

Something "funny" has started to happen.

When I click my first poin (wall, roof etc.) it just wont start drawing the line?? It just "blink" and nothing happens.

I can´t think of what is wrong, since I´ve done nothing to the program.

This may be a Video driver problem? The Wall may be drawing, but you just can not see the "rubber-band" have you clicked to start a wall and then clicked to end a wall?

Ok.

Maybe it´s the same problem.

But if I don´t just click, but hold down the mouse button, then I can see where I´m heading.

But, if i release the button, then the wall etc will be stopped exactly where i released it.

I´m using MacBock 2 GHz with 2 GB ram.
So, what do I have to download (or is there something to download for me 🙂 )

Jone,
You said:

You should check Options/work environment/ mouse constraints and methods
and see if you have "Mac classic-like" or "Cad-like" selected
in "Line drawing" options at the bottom of the control panel.
Change the selection and see if you get the behavior you want.

Is it too much to ask that folks use more descriptive subjects than "What's wrong" and "Help"?
