0 Pat Stanford Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 On my Mac running VW2021SP3, I do not get an error tone when using Option-J to start the Wall Join tool. Could it be something else on your machine that is also trying to use Alt (Option)-J? Quote Link to comment
0 bcd Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 That's interesting, thanks for checking Pat- I'll have to look into that. I'm currently on a Windows machine - I wonder if other Windows users hear it. Quote Link to comment
0 bcd Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 The wall join error bing is driving me crazy. Alt-J on windows consistently gives BING! - Luckily muting the computer eliminates it, but there must be a more elegant fix? Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Do you have sounds off in preferences? If so, then it still seems to me to be something else on your system that is binging. Quote Link to comment
0 Jesse Cogswell Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 @Pat Stanford It makes the system chime in Windows when you use any key combination of Alt+<key> regardless of the Session "Use sound" setting. It comes from Windows trying to find a top menu item (Alt+F for File as an example) and not being able to since it doesn't exist. I think it's more a limitation of Windows and less of Vectorworks. It can get annoying since the only way to really turn it off is to disable the chime at the Windows system level or to mute your sound. 1 Quote Link to comment

Alt-J is my most used one so I hadn't noticed the chime using the other keyboard shortcuts. This is a bigger issue than I'd expected! a systemic issue that should be addressed imo Quote Link to comment
