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 ![]()
Would this be a preference/setting I've overlooked or is it a glitch ?
Many thanks
ACAD LT 2018 for MAC
2015 iMac Retina 5k 27"
OS Sierra 10.12.6
¡Resuelto! Ir a solución.

I have full AutoCAD 2018 and cannot reproduce the issue you described.
If ORTHO is on on my side and I hold Shift key for some time during editing/drawing operations it allows me to turn ORTHO of temporary until I release Shift key.
At the command prompt I also see "Enter new value for ORTHOMODE <1>" but then ORTHO turns off automatically and the current command resume.

Hi Maxim
Thanks for the reply........ that's weird
I get the same message in the command prompt and also at the cursor.
I can hit enter and accept the ORTHOMODE command mid operation, but that permanently toggles ortho on/off
I've tried opening a new drawing to no avail and had a look through keyboard settings on my mac ![]()

With Shift key pressed AutoCAD should automatically change value of JRTHOMODE sys var.

Well......
I've reset ACAD - no change
I've deleted and reinstalled ACAD - no change
I've downloaded it again and reinstalled - no change
For each of the above I did not migrate my settings and files to see if that was the cause
Is no-one else using ACAD LT for Mac having this issue please ?

Hi Maxim, I had to research how to do that haha
The attached shows a simple move, when I press and hold the shift button mid command, that's when the "enter new value for ORTHO" prompt occurs
I then right clicked to accept the mode change and moved in ortho
If you watch the ortho button bottom right, it toggles from off to on, which is correct - however when the command is complete it should return to "off" but it doesn't
In LT 2017 the button goes on and off according to whether shift is pressed, and there is no requirement for a prompt acceptance mid-command
Hope this explains

Screenshot attached
Changing the "Use F1, F2 etc" setting has no effect on the problem
"cmd + L" works mid command but toggles on/off permanently, as does F8 when "Use F1, F2 etc" is ticked

Yes, that's correct
In 2017 there was no delay at all, not even a second
I've tried holding the shift down for longer (>2min) and nothing
Thanks for all your assistance thus far, at least my left hand little finger's RSI is showing signs of improvement ![]()
