I am having a devil of a job sculpting the hills around my route.
Basically, without warning, the level command I use gets locked on, so that when I release the left mouse button, it continues causing great swathes of my carefully crafted route to become a flat plateau.
Pressing "Undo" has alimited effect.
What is going wrong?

Re: Level command stuck on
I had a similar problem with the Up/Down command for adjusting objects.
Wonder if it's a Windows thing, like the old message you used to get after five clicks of the mouse button?

Well usually by stop pressing the key I think though you should check with windows help. That assumes that this is what is causing your problem and it might not be as you are usually told when sticky keys turns on.PWHolmes wrote:Well, you live and learn!

Re: Level command stuck on
Hi Paul
I occasionally get a situation where I rotate an object and let go and it keeps on rotating.
I also occasionally zoom in to an object and when I let go, the zoom keeps going.
This problem repeats itself each time you re-select an object but by pressing a few keys, it is possible to exit the Word Editor and save you work to date and then exit RS completely, re-start RS and all is OK again. You have to exit RS and not just the route as the problem is still there if you go back in.
I have no Idea why this happens but I am happy to blame Windows for the fault if that is the general feeling!

Re: Level command stuck on
I sometimes find the left click button sticks on when whilst holding down the button, if you stray over a fly-out box, the command is stuck on when the mouse button is released. Another left click will cancel it. I suppose this quirk could be used to advantage!

Yep I spilt my vodka and coke on the Kboard and it did just that
