Rotate keyboard shortcut broken?

[MHBrown]

Before I submit this as a bug, is anyone else seeing this? The default keyboard command for Rotate is supposed to be Command -` (just to the left of the numeral 1 on a Mac keyboard). When I do this in VW2016, however, it sends me to another open document. Anyone else see this?

Thanks,

The default for the Rotate Tool should be:

Shift =

Cmd ` is the default for toggling between documents as far as I can recall and is the same here back through Vectorworks 2012.

Mike,

Cant say I can relate to that. The ` symbol on my Mac keyboard is just to the left of the Z key and has always cycled through open document windows when used with the Command key.

The symbol just to the left of 1 is § and it seems to do nothing when paired with the Command key.

You might be able to alter your shortcuts through: tools / workspaces / edit current workspace.

Mike,

What version of VW are you using?

There is something amiss with the Command ` keyboard shortcut in VW2016. I have always assigned this to Add Surface and in the past VW has overridden the Mac default (cycling document windows). VW2016 has trouble doing that for some reason. Its pretty frustrating because I use Add Surface constantly....

Thanks,

The Command-` will send me to the Rotate menu as long as there is only one document open. I've been using this for years, so I can't remember if it was something I customized. I'm using VW2016, but I'm sure I was using it with 2011 or '12. I've never needed to toggle through different documents. Anyway, it doesn't sound like it is a huge bug, but is sounds like there are general issues with some of the keyboard shortcuts. Maybe I'll start from scratch; I changed and added a number of them.
