My cat stepped on my keyboard and now snaps are acting weird!

Photos are below.

My cat walked over my keyboard and changed something and I can't figure it out now! So I have a 3D object, start sketch, and choose a face. In the example below, I started a random line sketch. It seems to snap to corners just fine, but when I try to snap to anything else, the object highlights in green before I snap to it. It will snap and stick to the line if I hover over it (third photo), but the green highlight goes away. The green highlight also randomly stays around, just faded (second photo - I tried to snap to the left, moved my cursor away, and then approached the right side).

 

If I click when the second object highlights in green, it makes a point right before snapping (4th photo). And now that I've been trying to get these screenshots, panning with middle mouse click is super buggy! It either jumps a little bit or doesn't pan at all. That issue appears to get worse and worse the more I zoom in. I also can't zoom into infinity. If I try to zoom in any more than these screenshots, it just... doesn't. The screen is about 0.03mm wide, so maybe it does stop and I just didn't know that.

 

Help! I'm going crazy!

Have you checked your Snap settings?

Hi! If nothing works, please try resetting Inventor using Inventor Reset Utility back to install default settings.

Many thanks!

Maybe we should design a new feature called 'CatLok©®' that can detect feline movement and block input until the danger has passed. 😀

We could have "Child lock" as well although there is a danger that it might exclude some users.
