gmm18 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not working, normally hold space bar and you can pan, release space bar and you would go back to the tool you were using. This is referred to as boomerang But now in 2015 hitting the space bar it goes to boomerang for a split second, and even though still holding space bar it reverts instantly back to the original tool mode... Any fixes? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 18, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2014 What version of Mac OS X are you on? 10.6? Quote Link to comment
gmm18 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 VW2015 does not work on 10.6 at all. I am on OSX 10.9.4, I will update my signature. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 18, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2014 VW2015 does not work on 10.6 at all. (I am aware, I was checking just to be sure because of that.) Do any other modifier hotkeys behave that way for you as well? Holding down Option to duplicate for instance, not staying in the duplicate mode? Or the B key for xray mode not staying on when held down? Quote Link to comment
gmm18 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Interesting. The Option key duplicate is fine, but the B Xray is not sticking when held down. I will restart and see. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 18, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2014 If it keeps doing that after a reboot, perform this procedure with Vectorworks and all other applications closed: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/623/Disk+Utility Then, launch just Vectorworks 2015 and try the hotkeys again.

gmm18 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ran disk utility and it is still not holding. (both for boomerang pan and for X-ray) Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This problem is caused by Safari. I'm not sure why or how, but if you quit Safari the problem will be fixed. You can then restart Safari. It can (and will) recur. So you follow the same procedure: quit and restart Safari. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 18, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have seen it caused by Office for Mac as well. The issue still occurred with no other apps running, including Safari? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well Jim, using Office for Mac should always be suspect ;-) [humor] 1 Quote Link to comment

gmm18 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Quitting Safari alone did not work, needed to restart computer, but it is all working now. So no big deal, just a minor booger. Quote Link to comment

Wow, holy mackerel, that actually worked! Thanks Peter! Never would have figured that one out... Quote Link to comment
kob Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I've just noticed this happening with VW 2018. I found this thread, and indeed, quitting Safari cleared it up. I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else was experiencing the same thing. Quote Link to comment
