X6 install - shift click chaining

[Smit]

Just installed X6 on a new computer and working on getting it configured.

 

The hold shift key-click to auto chain function isn't working. Is that something I need to turn on in the config?

 

TIA for any replies!

It's working OK here..and I can't think of anythhhing that might cause this

Works for me as well, so it's an isolated incident

there's a couple of cases where this may not work

 

1. you've got duplicate entities

2. you're looking straight down on the chain and you have another copy on a different Z level right below the entities you're trying to chain

Thanks for the replies gents.

 

I got my old computer back and compared the chaining options, it turns out the plane mask in chaining was unchecked. So when the chain found a vertical line it would stop because it didn't know which branch to follow.

 

It's all good now.
