odolan Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I think I may have accidently pressed a key that turns off the feature that allows you to instantly type numeric data when starting a polyline. Also when selecting it does not highlight any selection. If anyone knows how to resolve this issue please let me know! Quote Link to comment

odolan Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 @michaelk Hi! Thanks for the quick response! I should have added in the original question I already have this selected (hence the confusion why it is not working) Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That is strange. As said, I often lose this and similar settings, but when set again, I never had any inconsistencies. Quote Link to comment
odolan Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 I have absolutely no idea why it isn't working. I thought maybe I'd pressed a random keyboard shortcut to cause this to happen (since I'm not the most advanced Vectorworks user) I've also tried the usual restarting + resetting workspace with still no luck. I am still able to edit the numerical data via the tab command or object info, it's just annoying as I have gotten used to being able to type straight away when working! Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 And as always, if you are using a custom workspace, make sure you try one of the defaults. Often workspaces brought forward from previous versions don't have the proper links to the most current version of tools. Quote Link to comment
