After working in layout for a little time, my keyboard commands - such as using the up/down arrows do not work - and then I find that it is moving the cursor over the last thing I used in the tool bar.
For example, I may have changed the line weight and then I want to move the image or a label on the layout page with the up/down arrows, but instead I notice that I am moving up/down the line weights. I can’t click out of the tool bar onto the page - it seems stuck there. I can do other things with the mouse, just not with the keyboard commands.
The same happens with the copy/paste commands on the keyboard.
To sort this out, i have to save and close layout completely (not just the file I am working on) and restart Layout. This is happening a lot, hence why I am now reporting it as it is wasting my time.
I noticed this too. I’m on Mac with Monterey.
The only work around is to collapse the current affected pane, switch tools using a point and click on the toolbar and then the keyboard shortcuts will begin responding again.
Thanks for doing that now! Glad I’m not the only one experiencing this issue!
Whilst I am here, there is another issue that has been bothering me… changing scale of drawings in windows. Does not always respond, which is irritating!
Yep. I know that too. Where you use the pulldown menu in the ‘Sketchup Model’ pane after having selected your viewport, Then you pick a new scale then, bam, nothing happens? No change. It sticks to the already set scale for some reason.
Go on, try me with another while we’re at it.
