Random Cursor Snap

[alb01]

Hi,

Has anyone else had a problem with the cursor snapping to the origin point after selecting objects to move, copy etc. I have had this happening for some time and its starting to become anoying. About 80% of the time, when I select objects to move, copy etc and hit enter to select the origin point, the cursor snaps off into the distance and seems to be selecting the UCS origin.

Andy Ideas, Thanks

Same here about 20% and mostly only with COPY. I just want to verify that it is happening to others and not a problem with your setup.

Does anyone know the cause and a possible solution.

That does not happen here, unless I double-tap enter or space, and take the default <Displacement> option.

Command: CO
COPY 4 found

Current settings: Copy mode = Multiple
Specify base point or [Displacement/mOde] <Displacement>:  (hit enter here, and it grabs some point I don't want as first point)
Specify second point or [Array] <use first point as displacement>: (hit enter here, and it's always wrong)

It may be the mouse I'm using. It may be sensing a double click. (ENTER, ENTER)

I'll switch to a new one and check the results.

Thanks for the input, I have adjusted the double click speed of my trackball to see if that makes any difference. It may be that this was the cause of the problem although I hadn't made any changes prior to the start of the prob.

Update - Still getting the same problem after adjusting the settings. Looks to happen more on move command but also on stretch and copy.

Is ORTHO on at the time?

Ortho is not on, I do use polar with a 45 degree setting, but I have always used this even before the problem started.
