ACAD LT 2018 For Mac - Ortho With Shift Key Problem

ian

Hi all, I rarely post on here as I can usually find a solution, however this time I can't...

 

I've just installed LT 2018 for Mac and can no longer use the "shift" key whilst copying/moving etc to constrain to ortho or free movement.

 

If I use the shift key, the object disappears and I am prompted to set ortho mode which is annoying - I mainly use ortho on and just hit the shift key when I want to move something freely.

 

This operation also adds a little circle with a triangle inside next to the cursor Emoticono frustrado

 

Would this be a preference/setting I've overlooked or is it a glitch ?

 

Many thanks

Yes, I'm having the same problem too. Just upgraded to LT 2018 on Mac, thought it was something wrong with my system. Thanks for the update.

Same here.

I went through the preferences (on and on) and just kept wasting my time...should have tried this forum first. But at least it's good to know for the future

Thanks for taking an action on this one.

Looks like this issue has been fixed with the Hotfix update.

No problem, Ian. I thought I would update as I've been using the 2017
version and only just checked yesterday for an update. J

Dear Maxim--

 

Thank you for your impressive expertise, to say nothing of your patience. : ) 

 

Just started using AC LT 2018 for Mac. 

 

Did the Ortho Shift override key get a fix, yet, to your knowledge? Having the same issue...

 

Just wondering.

 

 

Kind regards.

Hi William,

 

The issue was fixed with a hotfix update.  If you are still having issues, I would check for updates on your software and then go from there.

 

Cheers,

 

Justin

Hi William,

This Hotfix:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-l...

would resolve the issue with Ortho.

I originally applied this hot fix to my Autocad 2018 and it worked (fixed Ortho toggles with shift key) but after applying the upgrade 2018.1 and my shift key no longer toggles Ortho?

Thanks guess I should start troubleshooting it. Only difference maybe I have the touch bar enabled for auto cad on my laptop. Here is a screen cap of my cui. I really don't understand it but can modify if anyone has suggestions.

Just discovered it works with my right shift but not my left shift key LOL. I have checked and my shift keys work normally with other programs.

Ha go figure! That is a bit bizarre, though. Glad you got it figured out.
