Greetings,
Entity parameters could be "changed" using
the grips method. Right click mouse button
then brings up dialog box with "Properties"
@ the bottom.
I could then change the nature of the selcted
entity(s).
Not Now.
Now I get the program forcing a selection window at the mouse pointer on my entity.
Grips will not show. And I can't "change" the properties on the entity (circle, line, etc).
Anyone have a suggestion?
thanks for your consideration & contribution,
scott

What you're describing sounds like the right mouse button is acting like the left one. I don't know what else it could be. Sorry if this is no help.

Copy from Icad Help:

Turning grips on and off
You can turn the use of grips on and off and control the size and color of grips.

To change grip settings
1. Do one of the following:

• Choose Settings > Drawing Settings.
• On the Settings toolbar, click the Drawing Settings tool ().
• Type ddgrips and then press Enter.

2. In the Drawing Settings dialog box, click the Display tab.
3. In the Change Settings For list, click Grips.
4. Change the desired settings, and then click OK.

Editing with grips
To use grips for editing, you select an entity to display the grips, and then click a grip to make it active. The grip you select depends on the type of entity you're modifying and the editing operation you're performing. For example, to move a line entity, drag it by its midpoint grip. To stretch the line, drag one of the endpoint grips. You do not need to enter a command when using grips.

Greetings,
Thanks for your contributions. I did get
a reply from tech support & their opinion
falls against the program. They think
it has been corrupted. So a removal & re-install seems in order.
I have to agree with this, as I have used
intellicad for many years & never have I
seen a prg flaw such as this.
