Apple Mouse

[ricky.cole]

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!

@Christiaan I think you use a Magic Mouse. Can you help Ricky?

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?

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'?

@ricky.cole try turning click-drag off.
