Chris Rogers Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I downloaded Service pack 2.1, fired it up, and can no longer select any object on my screen. Any ideas? If I can't get this to work, how do I switch back to the previous install of the software? Quote Link to comment
0 Chris Rogers Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Update. I found the Repairs function on the Updater screen and ran that. It fixed 51 files. But the problem still exists. I am using a laptop with a touchpad plus I have an outboard monitor, keyboard, keypad plugged in. The software works fine with the touchpad built into the laptop, but not with the outboard touchpad. Not sure where to go from here since the problem showed up with the Service Pack installation. Quote Link to comment
0 Chris Rogers Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hmm.....cycled power on everything yet again (3rd or 4th time), unplugged then reconnected everything and it now all works. I'm gonna call this "not software related?" Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'd call it a watching brief. I've never run repair before. Ran it just now and it fixed 367 files! Quote Link to comment
0 Boxcar Tech Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hi, I'm actually experiencing the same (or at least a similar) issue - also on 2022 with the latest Service Pack and likewise using an external monitor and k/b / mouse. I ran the repair tool as well (3043 files fixed - a first time using that!) but have managed to figure out a few things... The issue seems to appear for me after I edit (double click and open) an XREF from within the main drawing, but then resolves itself when I close and reopen the main drawing. I can still drag select an object (some I can directly select others I can’t) and although there's nothing showing in the Object Info palette at first, when I switch to a different layer and then back again (with the object still selected) the object info / data then appears. Another issue which is perhaps related, is that I also have a problem snapping to the same XREF file when in a Viewport (in the annotations and crop view as well). Again, issue is resolved on restart but seems a little more random as to when it starts. Be interested to know if you're still having the same problem or have managed a fix which doesn’t involve reopening the drawing all the time? Cheers Quote Link to comment
0 ParkerJames Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Same frustrating intermittent problem with selection objects yesterday. I may run repair…never have before. Quote Link to comment
0 Chris Rogers Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I concluded my problem was actually related to the touchpad not the software. Quote Link to comment
0 Steven Kenzer Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I had never even noticed that "Repair" under the "Advanced Options" heading on the updater. I just ran it out of curiosity. Wow, 3303 files repaired! Quote Link to comment
0 jnr Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Beat you. Found 3,644 files repaired. now to see if it makes any difference whatsoever in the graphics sluggishness, instability, etc. Quote Link to comment

I downloaded Service pack 2.1, fired it up, and can no longer select any object on my screen. Any ideas?
If I can't get this to work, how do I switch back to the previous install of the software?
