Delete Key only in Microstation not working

To whom it may concern,

something changed, and I'm not shure, if it had something to do with Microstation, the laptop or windows.

When activating an element I usually could delete it when pressing the delete key on the keyboard - this changed and I have to use the microstation delete button.

As this is only happening in Microstation and no other program it looks to me like a Microstation problem - am I right?

I'm still using windows 7, but I think this has nothing to do with it - seems to me as if I pressed a wrong button ....

Help appreciated.

Best Regards

Carsten

  • Hello, this started happening for me as well, but im on Windows 10.  Has a reason/solution been found yet? 

    Windows 10 version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2130)
    ProjectWise Explorer Connect Edition version 10.00.03.434
    Microstation Connect Edition version 10.17.01.58
    Descartes Connect Edition version 10.17.01.50

  • For those of you who are seeing this issue could you provide the answer to the following two questions:

    What type of computers are these?  Desktop or laptop?

    Are you using traditional keyboards or unusual special purpose keyboards?

    i.e., Laptop keyboards often have “Fn” keys that change the top row of function keys from traditions F1-F12 or to special function like volume up/down, etc.

    It makes  no difference  for me in all those laptop permutations but I only  have it  happen on laptops both external and native keyboards.

    I was using work laptop at work and at home and two different  traditional usb  keyboards as I left  work one at work... as I said only  fix I found was use the red icon then the delete key works until next random time weeks later... totally unpredictable but only  v8i .. didnt  use CE  all day everyday only  occasionally used for special features... or when client put gun to my head.. hahaha
