Simple deselect method or hotkey?

Sungod3000 — Sun, 03 Mar 2019 07:03:16 GMT

Hi,

Im not sure if some default setting changed, but after a little break i started some random sketch and can't really deselect in sketch mode.

For example Im drawing a sketch line and I just want to stop using the tool. Esc doesnt work and right click opens the context menu where there is a cancel option that can be clicked, but this requires extra mouse pointing and clicking.

This is the first time I notice that and its a bit weird because im sure 6 months ago I didnt have that issue.

Cheers

Hi,

you don't need to choose and click extra.

Is there a setting to not keep tools active once they have been used once?

As in while having the line tool selected, make two points, and then the select tool automatically comes back?

Hi @Sungod3000,

Are you still experiencing this issue with deselecting/canceling sketch tools? If so, could you please let us know which Fusion version you are using and whether the behavior is still the same?

I don't think anything is an "issue". I just have to click usually three-four times off of the selected item for some reason to deselect.

I was hoping there was some way to toggle this feature on and off rather than having to "cancel" as described above.
