Cant select entities
Ok this is weird. I have been doing some of the 17th Century maps from the John Speed city pack. All been working very well. Made dozens of maps overt the last 2 weeks. I have erased ,edited, moved items , changed colours etc . Everything you should be able to do.
Suddenly this evening I clicked on Erase and rather than the usual select entity command , the command lines reads:
Layer name [dialog]:
if i click anywhere it changes to:
Command [ERA]:
when I click anywhere it goes back to
Layer name [dialog]:
etc etc
back and forth between these two BUT at no point can I select any entity on any sheet.
I close the programme and relaunch it but it still happens
I start a new map - t still happens. I CAN add new symbols and draw but I CANNOT select any entities to edit in any way.,
Have I hit some button which freezes entities.
Note I have checked the sheets and the relevant ones are NOT frozen
Help!

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"

I just ran into this crazy issue and the resolution was perfect.
I know it is a Way Dead thread but still relevant.
