Mouse pointer windowing error
Has anyone seen this before :- mouse pointer is OK for selection of individual items, but when drawing a window box, the selection does not start where the pointer is, and the direction of drag is wrong. Works OK for a while, then goes wrong. Tried 3 different nice so far. Works OK in default (Drawing1) but not the one being worked on. Must be software related - seems to work OK with other applications (not CAD).I am very puzzled, any help/comments appreciated.Using latest Bricscad version 8.2.10, computer was new this year (few months ago) using windows XP. Current mouse is USB, original was PS2 - same error.

No, but if there are running osnaps set, selections can be not what you want even if it's a plain not a crossing window.Snap on can also make selections unpredictable.Offset can work in the wrong direction or not at all with running snaps on as well.

Chcck the drawing to determine the current CS.

Thanks guys, searching the help files for co-ordinate systems etc. helped a lot. We don't use any 3D commands but normally draw 2D in model space, but the clue was the crosshairs slightly slanted - we must have rotated the view accidentally. Using the "plan" command to restore to WCS plan sorted it.Still a weird thing to see when we imagine a flat object.Thanks again.

It's too easy to do. Using the control and shift keys you only have to hold just the ctrl key for a second and it all goes pffft. Happens to me regularly.
