sancho1981 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I have just installed VW2009 w/ SP4 onto my laptop with Vista 32-bit. When my cursor is in the drawing area the point where my cursor is visually is above and to the right of where things are drawn or captured when I click. Example: I put my cursor at the top right corner of a rectangle with the line tool active. When I click and draw, the line is drawn below and to the left of where my cursor is. I don't have snap to grid active. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Does it do this with all the constraints turned off? michaelk Quote Link to comment
sancho1981 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yes. And it only does it in the drawing space. When I move into the palletes or the menus at the top, it corrects itself. Quote Link to comment
Pieman Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I am also having this problem. Any solutions? Quote Link to comment
christalcat Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Im also having this problem, Its driving me nuts and i cant find any solution anywhere? Does anyone have any ideas....Pleeeeease? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 That would drive a person nuts... It would be helpful if you could add your VW version and system info to your signature. It would also be helpful if you could post a screen shot of the problem. michaelk Quote Link to comment
christalcat Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi My case is exactly the same as the post by sancho1981 above. Im using VW2009 with Vista-32bit No contraints are on. And yet when you go to draw a line (or do anything) the line is drawn 5mm below the cursor. Finding it tricky to upload screen shot at the moment. :confused: But anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

michaelk Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 What happens when you tab in and force the cursor to go to a coordinate? Does the curser go to a spot 5mm above the coordinate or on the coordinate? Quote Link to comment
christalcat Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Well, below the x of the cursor is a very faint grey square which is what appears to be the real drawing point. When i first installed the programme all was fine, and all the endpoints of lines would high light when you went over them, now that doesnt happen. But yes, if i wanted to pick up a line i had drawn and move it. I would have to click on it with the faint grey square 5mm below the cursor. The cursor marked x is useless.... Very frustrating... Could this be something to do with endpoint settings? Quote Link to comment
christalcat Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 No, i just reset my smart cursor settings, and it doesnt solve the problem. ? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 What happens if you turn on full screen cursor? Quote Link to comment
christalcat Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Tried that, doesnt make any difference. Its not a known bug then? The updates wont cure it? Strange that other people have had the same problem also. Ive searched google and this is the only place i can find that the problem has been mentioned. but no solution? It makes the programme un-usable. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've never seen this before. The only obvious connection between christalcat and sancho is VW2009 and Vista 32 bit. Makes me suspect you may have a video driver issue or a newer version of Quicktime than Vista/VW2009 is happy with. michaelk Quote Link to comment
christalcat Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ive just installed correct version of quicktime V7.5, and that didnt fix it? :cry: Quote Link to comment
