panthony Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 For some reason I am not able to use the ALT key with any shortcuts...whenever I press the ALT key focus is changed to the windows menu. Any suggestions... Quote Link to comment

Some versions had specific incompatibilities with things like Office (Office tries to capture the keyboard input before other apps) and they weren't patched until certain SPs were released.

panthony Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Jim, Reboot did nothing... I am using version 2016 SP3 (Build 301288)...currently up to date with Fundimentals, Architect and Renderworks Also just noticed that I do not have use of the Heliodon tool or the Renderworks Camera tool...I was trying to perform a shadow study and get the following error when I select either tool "The plug-in tool "RenderWorks Camera" could not be selected. It is missing necessary resources or the file is damaged." The same error pop-up occurs with the selection of the Heliodon tool. Please advise... Edited June 1, 2016 by panthony Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 1, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 1, 2016 If you remove those tools from the workspace via the workspace editor, then re-add them and they STILL function that way, then you will need to perform a complete uninstall and reinstall: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/1105/Uninstalling+Vectorworks Quote Link to comment
panthony Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I found a post that reverted the workspace back to default factory and that worked to bring back the Heliodon and Camera tools. Now all I still need is to get the Alt+key to work within VW and override windows Quote Link to comment
