CC3 Erase Commande Not Working

Motara

I am trying to erase some entities using the ERASE command, but when I click the erase button, I do not get a pick box. My pointer remains the same and I am unable to select entities to erase. This is also happening with any command that I would need to select an entity (move, scale, edit properties, etc.).

There must be something simple I am missing, but I have been all through the help and the users guide. Plenty of information on how to erase things, but they all entail getting that pick box to show up.

What am I doing wrong?

Are the layers they are on frozen ?

Motara

I have no frozen layers and no hidden layers. I get no pick box no matter what layer I am on.

Your selection method has gotten messed up, probably as the result of a macro ending abruptly.

Type selbyd on the command line and hit return to reset it to select by dialogue.

Alternately, go to the Tools>Options menu and click the Select method. Click on "Dialogue or Pop-up"

That did the trick! Thank you so much!

Is there something I did to make that happen? I just don't want to mess it (or something else) up again.

JimP

Sometimes a macro hiccups. Not often, but they do.

just knew enough to know haw cool CC3 is, and i actually thoughtn it was my computer that f... up. but no a simple "selbyd"command, and evrything was alright.
