What's wrong with me? Cannot move stuff

Post by Gene Davis »

Placed the first cab, a wallcab corner, then did the one to its R, forgot to do it's elevation change, and now cannot move it to the right height.

The software balks on me when I input move numbers.

I enter a figure in the TOP margin to correct, the software changes my figure to something else, and does an incorrect move.

I try the OBJECT MOVE command, setting the increment to 1/8\", then hold SHIFT, do UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW, and get no movement.

What's happening here?

Gene,

Ocasionaly this happens to me and what I will do is figure the amount I need to move it and use the move increment.

But I have tried both ways.

Changing the distance-from-wall-edge (the four boxes in L dialog box) is completely screwy, in that my numbers don't get accepted. Let's say I want to change the -9 5/8\" TOP figure to +7/8.

I cursor-select the -9 5/8, input 7/8, hit ENTER, and WHAM, it moves, but somewhere else. I'm looking for 7/8, it gives me 1/4.

Trying the MOVE INCREMENT gives no movement at all. She's locked into place, as far as that command goes.

My only solution is to DELETE the cab and start over, placing it at the right height to begin with. Yuk!

Gene,

I think your arms are tired of moving those cabs around!!!


Seriously,
right click and change your \"Insert Item Method\" to free-style. This should now allow you to move the cabinets around.

Gene,
Try bumping up the move increment value to 3\" and see if it works.
