unable to select any element.

Post by Peter » Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:41 pm

I have partly created a drawing but now I am unable to select any element of the drawing. All I get is the non ticking watch if I click on any element. I have tried "make all elements selectable" with no result.
I met this problem once before and somehow it was resolved but I cannot remember how.
I am using ver 6.1.1 on an Imac 2.8 Ghz
Any help would be very welcome - or do I just frustratingly start again?

Hello
I have now solved this problem.
If I select Edit>Utilities> Make all selectable.

It results in the exact opposite - all elements are NOT selectable.

By using the "selectable/Not selectable" button in tools each element can be made selectable again. But each element has to be selected individually.

After making elements selectable again any use of "Edit > Utilities > Make all selectable" deselects the item and all others.
Hope this helps anyone else meeting this "bug"?

I can now duplicate this problem. i use the Edit>Utilities> Make all selectable and it actually makes all elements not selectable. The only way out is to quit CADintosh and restart it.

At the time that I duplicated Peter's bug, I was trying to change a circle from dashed line style to solid line style. I was also unable to do this. The only workaround I know is to delete the dashed circle (or a straight line) and draw it again with Solid selected.

Regards,
