Mouse point selection .....

[Robborito]

I know this subject has been tabled before however I still don't understand the reasoning put forward by CA support - so Ill ask it again of this forum of users...

Why is it that the normal CAD point selection using the left mouse button, is not available in either Home Designer or Chief Architect.

Instead we have this point and hold method with the left mouse button.

I asked support on this topic a while back and I was told that CA has the regular left mouse button point selection and HD does not. (cause it's DIY)

My CA demo - has same mouse button point and hold as my HDPro2024 that I use (nearly) every day.

Is there a particular pointing devise (out there) that the current method of point and hold is best suited to?

If so, what is it. Does anyone know of it, or use it maybe?

HUH?

 

I tried playing and do not understand your issue... Maybe I am just not getting your issue...

 

Example?

OK - When you (left mouse button) pick a start point, do you hold the left mouse button down until you pick a second point-

and so on to all other points?

ArchiCAD, Revit, AutoCAD - point selection is different.

The left mouse button selects or clicks on the points without having to be holding mouse button down between points.

That's it in brief.
