hollister design Studio Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 screen grab of the File menu: VW let's me draw new polygons - but not delete anything. I can move things around - but no undo. Create a blank file - but not open an existing file. Right-click doesn't work. Won't let me save work so I can restart. Second time this has happened today.

0 hollister design Studio Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Additional info - when this happens the 'data entry box' (not sure of the correct term) that appears when a tool is in use is getting 'stuck' on even with no tool active. Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Could it be there is a notification window/dialog box that is off screen or moved to the back that is preventing VW foreground activities? Quote Link to comment
0 hollister design Studio Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 I moved everything to a new file hoping it was something with that file, but I will look for that if it happens again. I couldn't open any other files will the issue was happening to test - but I could create a blank file and they were affected also. It happened about 10 time yesterday, once in the morning, twice after lunch and then with increasing frequency until I just quit for the day. It's odd because many tool worked fine - polygon, circle, rectangle - but no 'higher functions' worked. Quote Link to comment
0 Elite Exhibits Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 FYI I have had things disappear and cause issues - Happens when I place Palettes on other than the main screen. - See attached - In this case the keyboard appeared to be malfunctioning as the Resource Manager would not open pressing the Command-R combination. ¿ I assume that it is based on the video output in the laptop ?

0 hollister design Studio Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 Just started up again after a day of behaving normally There is definitely something like a tool is stuck open - but there isn't a window open on or off screen. The windows 11 task bar shows a second instance of VW that is just the "data entry box" by itself - this is not normal. This 'data entry box' shows X,Y, L and Angle although there is no tool selected. If I use a basic tool (the only functions that work seem to be basic geometry) the "data entry box" changes to that tools default. Again, most menu items are greyed out. There is no way to get out of this except by restarting. Vector works is 2023 SP4 build 693289 Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I am not familiar enough with Windows to be able to help on this one. It is probably a good one to contact Tech Support about directly. 1 Quote Link to comment

0 hollister design Studio Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 @Nana Ama Astra I unfortunately don't remember what I did (if anything) to fix this... but I no longer have the issue. So sorry. Quote Link to comment
