Once I updated my computer to Windows 8.1, I noticed that the boomerang function no longer works with the spacebar on my laptop. It works properly with a USB keyboard, however. I just purchased a new computer and installed everything from scratch; the problem still recurs. I have tried running VW without Microsoft Office active - and rebooting - as mentioned elsewhere, but to no avail. Does anyone experience the same issue - or know of a way to fix it? Hoping to get the boomerang function working again on my laptop keyboard. Windows 8.1 Vectorworks 2014 (current release) Nvidia Quadro 2100 Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help. All is resolved; thank you for replying with the example.

Thank you very much for your help. I was wondering if you might have a moment to take a look at an example of the problem? In this instance, the Channel field is shifting out of place. The Label Legend did have a symbol that was rotated 90deg in the first sample, but there are no rotated symbols in the 2nd example (a new, different Label Legend) and I am experiencing the same problem. Do you have any ideas? Thank you very much for your help.

Occasionally (although far too frequently) a field or two in a Label Legend 'shifts' out of place; ie the 'Channel' field is drawn immediately adjacent to a lighting fixture, but is rendered inches - or feet - away in the lighting instruments. It is inconsistent, but once it appears in a file it tends to recur with that Label Legend indefinitely - my only solution has been to manually shift the 'Channel' handle back to an appropriate location for every single lighting instrument using that Legend. Things that have already been tried: - I *have* re-created these Legends from scratch in VW2013 SP3. Leaves me clueless. - I have deleted all Label Legends from a document, and then re-drawn the Legends from scratch. Other tips: - It seems to happen with *some* Label Legends on *some* instrument types/symbols. Could it have anything to do with the way an embedded symbol is rotated within the instrument symbol (ie a 'Source Four UP' symbol referencing a 'Source Four BASE' symbol)? - If I attempt to counter the shifting back in the Legend (ie if the Channel dropped down 3 inches when rendered, I would try to shift it up 3 inches), the resulting render is seemingly senseless; it may fling the rendered Channel a dozen feet away or even 'flip' it across the 0,0 point of the symbol in the Label Legend. Any thoughts? Thank you very much for your help. Vectorworks 2013, SP3.

Hello, Does anyone know of a way to import label legends from another file? Thank you for your time!
