How to edit curves with touch pad?

Hi,

Editing a path network with the mouse works perfectly. When I don't have it available, I am baffled to see that if I press "X" and press on the handles or curve nodes, no additional curve nodes are created. Is there an option I can change?

Hi @Enrique Elizaga,

This is not a problem with FlexSim, but rather a feature that is likely on your laptop. You are welcome to verify this, but while you are holding down any key, your left-click on the track pad is disabled. So, in FlexSim, this means you can't use a track pad while holding A or S for connections, X or B for network nodes, and other features.

You should test this by attempting to open an instance of Google Chrome or other desktop shortcut while holding down a keyboard key. If it doesn't click, that will confirm that it is a laptop setting and not a problem with FlexSim's code.

Yes I performed the test with Chrome and you are totally right. I'll go to the Razer Blade helpdesk!

Sometimes you use a touch pad with a stylus or an active pencil. Maybe they have buttons, that you can set to special actions like keyboard characters.
