Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?

[Bruce Kieffer]

I (with great difficulty) added the Hide Selected Objects command in my object context menu, but it does not work there. The menu command does work. Anyone else notice this issue?

Try adding it to the Document Context menu instead.

I tried that too and it still does not work.

It works for me. Are you sure you're right-clicking in empty space + invoking the Doc Context menu...?

Yep. It does not work for me.

It worked for me in the Document Context menu on Saturday during the VW Users Group meeting.

I will call support tomorrow.

I found out today that none of my contextual menu commands are working. I'm reinstalling Vectorworks now. I sure hope that fixes this problem.

Nope. No fix. Sad. Now what?

Are you running antivirus software? This sounds like something is blocking parts of Vectorworks.

No, but I did think about booting in Safe Mode. And I have a few other things to try this morning before I call support again.

I found the problem. It's a conflict with Keyboard Maestro. I don't have this problem with Vectorworks 2024, or any other app. I let support know I found the conflict. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

More testing is making me wonder if this is a conflict with Keyboard Maestro. There's something definitely strange going on. If I long pause on a Vectorworks 2025 contextual menu item, click it, then it works, and then all the context menu commands work after the first one does. Keyboard Maestro running or not. I hate troubleshooting!

This is a problem with Mac OS Sequoia and Vectorworks 2025. I can now reproduce the problem. If I right click an object and hold the mouse button down and go to a command, then the command does not work. If I right click an object and release the mouse button down and go to a command, then the command works. Another user confirm they see this same behavior.
