Editing ordinate dimensions
On my older computer using KeyCreator 2021 SP0 I was able to edit individual lines in ordinate dimensions by hovering my mouse over the specific dimension and hitting the space bar to select it. Now that I have installed this same program and version on my new computer, I am no longer able to do this. What is the trick?

RE:Editing ordinate dimensions
There are a few things that can cause this but let's start with the obvious: Go into Tools>Application Options>Positioning/Selection and insure that "Key for Toggling Current Selection" is set to "Space"

RE:Editing ordinate dimensions
Hi kspangler, yes, it is already set "Space". Any other thoughts?

RE:Editing ordinate dimensions
Maybe a stupid question:
When you do a Generic Edit and hover your mouse over the ordinate dimension, is the entire ordinate dimension highlighted?

RE:Editing ordinate dimensions
When I select the Edit button and then hover over an ordinate dimension, nothing happens, nothing is highlighted.

RE:Editing ordinate dimensions
I think I found the problem. In Tools>Application Options>Position Selection>Select>Enable Dynamic Entity Selection Checkbox was off.

After checking this box, all seems to be working as I am accustomed to.

Thank you for helping me solve this problem.
