Santino Di Renzo Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi, I am working on a 2D doc and I am esperiencing a unprecedented problem. a simple object ( i.e. a square) cannot be moved by the pointer (selection tool) by just dragging it, like I usually do... It is driving me mad, please help... Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Santino, the first thing to try is VERIFY & REPAIR permissions (found in the DISK UTILITY app, in your utilities folder, in your applications folder). After doing both, which may take a while, restart your machine, then restart VW's. If that doesn't work, call tech support! Peter Quote Link to comment
broesler Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Make sure you have the 2D Selection tool (arrow pointer) selected. I find I can't move something all the time, only to find I have somehow deselected the 2D tool. Quote Link to comment

Peter Hi Cipes, I did that and it worked out fine. however, it is not the first time I have to do that. Is this a bug Nemetschek is looking into fixing? it is SUPER annoying... thank you all for helping Quote Link to comment
kiwi Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 If you are working on 3d layers you will not be able to snap across layers (page 3-11 VW 10 manual), then if any of your 2D obj is in another 3D layer you will not be able to do anything via the cursor. Drawing objects like nurbs or using some plugins could set unexpectedly the current layer as 3D : as say above get back on Top/plan (press command+5) Quote Link to comment
Bryan_dup1 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Make sure you are in the "Top/Plan" standard view and not the "Top" view. 2d items move easier in a 2d view Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Santino, Repairing permissions on OS 10 is something you should do about once a month as maintenance. It should also be run after new software is installed or after you update a current application to a newer version. repairing permissions fixes the user account. Often times, installing software will corrupt the user account, causing all kinds of problems. This is why you should run it after software is installed, or monthly as regular maintenance.
