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.

    Before doing something that could very well be more problematic (i.e. deleting your user preference), is the user preference setting itself staying the same (i.e. Single Click: Locked)? Or is that changing? If it is staying the same, have you tried changing Preferences > Input > Click Sensitivity? Also, are you using MicroStation without any add-on applications?

      

  • OK, I'm going to ask a very basic question. Just what does that switch do? I looked it up in Help but had a hard time until I realized the setting was only if the setting for the Default tool (below Single Click setting) is "None". If set to "Selection" it didn't work as stated in Help.
    I think Neil would see a difference if the Default Tool setting was set to "None" instead of the "Selection" tool. It would stay on the last tool used instead of going back to the "Selection" tool.
    If the Default tool is set to "None" it all works as stated in the Help
    Single-shot — you can select a tool for single-shot operation with a single click, or you can double-click it to select and lock the tool.
    Locked — you can select and lock a tool with a single click, or you can double-click it to set it for single-shot operation.
    Someone please tell me if this is wrong or incorrect.
