My magnet stopped working

[Anonymous]

I love my magnet but the space bar no longer turns it off & on.
I restart day after day & still it won't work. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Still not working! Why would that happen & how can I fix it? Might seem like a small problem but it's driving me crazy!

Have you tried re-applying the standard Work Environment?

I could not find a way to turn it off. With the Arrow Tool selected, can you change the Quick Select option (Magnet icon) in the Info Box?

I tried applying the ArchiCAD 17 Standard and the space bar would not turn off the magnet. If I click on the magnet in the tool bar I can turn it on & off, but, it was so easy when my space bar would do it. Thank you.

Quick Select is a non-customisable shortcut so it shouldn't be possible to deactivate it.
The only thing I can think of is you have another program running in the background that is 'hi-jacking' the space bar shortcut.

Does the Spacebar work to invoke the Magic Wand? (Also a built-in shortcut.)

Here is a thread with a similar issue:
Spacebar and Esc functions won't work

Good idea to check! The space bar does not work the magic wand either. Space bar works normally when I'm typing. There are no other programs running.
Thanks.

This is a long shot, but could you assign the "spacebar" to another shortcut by mistake?

The space bar is not used as a shortcut so there is no way it could have been assigned to a different command. I wish I knew what the problem is & how to solve it.
