Djmanwild Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I've been working on Vectorworks this morning and had no issues prior to all of a sudden no longer being able to select the endpoints of lines. I can still select lines as a whole, but when going to move things I can no longer select a specific point on the line, rather I just have to estimate where the end of the line is and move it like that. I'm assuming I hit a hotkey without realizing it but don't know what that would have been. Would love some help on the matter! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Check which mode of the Selection Tool you are in. The first mode ('Disabled Interactive Scaling Mode') will give you the behaviour you describe. 1 Quote Link to comment
Djmanwild Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Thanks for the response. I'm not really sure why but the issue fixed itself after I left it alone for a few days. I double checked on your suggestion and this was definitely something good to know thanks! Not sure how I switched it without realizing, I'm just glad it went back to working! Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The U key will step through the modes of the first mode group. Hit is accidentally and you can change the mode. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Since VW2024 I have found it periodically changing to the first mode of its own accord. Or perhaps it was since Update 4 + the addition of the 4th mode. I never had this happen previously. Quote Link to comment
Elite Exhibits Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 @Djmanwild Is your selection issue to simply select ? - as in draw another shape and select the end point of a line as one of the points on the new object... or Is your selection issue to select the end point and resize that line from the end point ?

EAlexander Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 This actually sounds like more of a snapping issue - have you checked your snapping palette to see that you have the correct modes turned on? Quote Link to comment
Elite Exhibits Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 FYI In Top/Plan view attempted to scale a 3D - Generic Solid - with the Symmetrical by Distance "click" feature and it would not -unless the object was "grouped" Peter Quote Link to comment
