[Basic Keyboard Command Functions not working (shift gives straight line etc]

Thank you, Klinzey. That worked...had all my adobe creative suite apps, Mozilla, and Preview running and once I closed them everything was back to normal in Vectorworks...

so im not sure which program it was that was causing the issue, but hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Now can you help me with the rest of my thesis too, please?

Holding Shift to select multiple objects doesn't work either!! Someone please help! Working on my thesis and big presentation is tomorrow!

[Basic Keyboard Command Functions not working (shift gives straight line etc]

I've tried opening a brand new, fresh document, and none of the functions work either, so I know its not just the file that I'm working on that's messed up.

[Basic Keyboard Command Functions not working (shift gives straight line etc]

Hello,

Holding the space bar would allow me to temporarily pan. Holding shift would give a straight line. And dragging an object while holding ALT used to duplicate the object. All of a sudden, these functions don't work. Anyone else experience this before??

Thanks

[General: Vectorworks 2008 on Vista]

Hello, I am considering installing VW2008 on a brand new PC with Vista. I have installed it on a PC with Windows XP, and so far have encountered no problems.

Any tips, or heads up I should be aware of before installing VW2008 on XP?

Thanks!

[Removing VW]

You are assuming right, you shouldn't need them any more. There is no referencing back to previous version libraries etc, but I would keep them anyway if you can spare 4,5 Gb on your HD.

I still have as far back as VW11. I think it is wise to be able to open old files in their own versions - just as a precaution. There is always something that will not be translated correctly into newer versions. I remember major problems with windows at some time and some of my files are still bound to be opened in VW11 only.

I'm on mac so I can't help you with how to uninstall them in PC. In mac you just waste the entire VW folder.

You might need a drill and a saw...:-)

Hello, thank you for the advice to keep older VW versions so that older files can open in their original VW versions.

I just upgraded from VW 11 to VW 2008, and I came on this forum for tips on how to uninstall the old version, but now I am second guessing this step.

But if i do decide to uninstall VW 11 from my Mac, technically is there no "uninstalling"? Since all i have to do is simply delete the VW 11 folder?
