USER PREFERENCES - LOOK AND FEEL - SINGLE CLICK - LOCKED

Using V8i SELECT series 3 Ver 08.11.09.459 and I cannot get SINGLE CLICK - LOCKED in user preferences LOOK and FEEL to stay locked on elements. ie to move an element more than once I have to select it before every move. Tried re-installing and tried different PC. I have read about others having this problem but have not seen any solution yet.

  • I have those settings  also esc key disable I have accudraw and accusnap set and my powerselector s default first  left top and first left bottom

    I click once  on select tool then data point a  single element   highlights and hold the data Left mouse button down  to drag element where I want it. if I let go its still in  selection set so I can keep moving it..

    If you cant do this then maybe Rmb menu ( select previous) until you work out why not working  or maybe a keyin on your favorite F key..

    Maybe your user.upf  is corrupt  make copy and delete then restart mstn and let mstn  create new upf if still doesnt work  then delete new and restore old file or just set up the screen and pallets how you like  with nice new shiney upf file...
