Moving at Both Ends Again!

[joey3032]

Come on guys. I can't be the only one this is happening to. I am working, everything is great, and BAM! Everything starts to move from both ends. Walls, lines. doors, windows, etc, etc....everything I grab moves from both ends. Is no one else experiencing this problem?

With great trepidation due to the fact that I know you are a very experienced user, but, dare I question whether you have concentric move activated?

Or in the wall DBX, you have the wrong box checked, maybe

I am an experienced user..over 10 years and I train others to use Chief. The only way I can get Chief to stop doing this, is to shut everything down and re-start my computer. And even if I had the settings wrong...which I don't...that wouldn't explain how I can be working along and then out of nowhere Chief decides to start moving everything from both ends.

Joey:

sounds like it is time to contact tech support

Very strange. No, I have never experienced this. Is this unique to legacy plans?

I was scared to say anything since I know Joey is a very experienced user.

[gawdzira]

I tend to lead with my chin.

I'm also a very experienced user but I don't know everything, that's for sure. New Computer?? or Clean the registry??

I think the Concentric edit behavior activates with "C" as its hotkey by default, so if you missed doing a Control + C on your keyboard for a copy operation, it wouldn't be that hard to have unintentionally switched. Try assigning that to a different hotkey and see if that helps.

The program usually shows a little thing following your mouse around if you switch edit behaviors, which can be a handy warning indicator, unless you've turned them off in Preferences.

I have a feeling Athenian nailed it, but I am sure Joey checked this out already.

Except that I have my hotkeys set up so that "C" is my ELECTRICAL CONNECTION hotkey, so nope..not it either..

Post the plan and see if it might be your computer.

Joey,

Do you have Behavior Indicators toggled on and if so do you get the Concentric Edit icon at the cursor when this problem happens?

As far as I know the C key only toggles Concentric mode temporarily once an object is selected - not a universal toggle for Concentric Mode.
As a matter of interest, the comma key does the same thing as does the X1 mouse button.
