ricky.cole Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi all, Have just purchased a MacBook laptop and I'm using the apple mouse. When I click on a function eg: delete, it will not delete the object until I have then clicked something or somewhere else. So essentially I feel like I am having to click twice as opposed to once. Is this an apple mouse thing that I can change somewhere? I feel like there is a lot of 'clicking' going on compared to my old PC! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 @Christiaan I think you use a Magic Mouse. Can you help Ricky? 2 Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Not quite sure what that is but two things to have a look at: Is Secondary click active? Apple > System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click If this is the case make sure you're clicking on the left side of your mouse for a click Maybe post a screenshot of your VW preferences Vectorworks > Vectorworks Preferences > Edit Do you have click-drag drawing enabled?

ricky.cole Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 I have enabled click-drag. It's almost had to explain! I just remember on PC being able to perform an action with the mouse (whatever it might be) and that action being performed instantly and not having to then move the mouse after for it to happen? For me to move this north arrow I have to select it, move it with the mouse, then I get the square and it's only when I move the mouse again that it moves to the position I have selected. A better example is if I 'command z' that action, the north arrow won't move back until I have then moved the mouse after pressing 'command z'? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 @ricky.cole try turning click-drag off. Quote Link to comment
