drawing walls problem

Anonymous

Hi, the problem is that I want to draw walls, but instead (i must have pressed something) a magic wand appears and it decides where the walls should go! I tried to get rid of it, but it doesn't seem to work!
Can you please tell me what I need to press so i can draw my walls!
Thank you very much

I had this happen to me for the first time a couple of days ago as well. I had AC11 and 12 open at the same time, and they both started misbehaving exactly as you say!

I even closed both and then restarted 11 but it was still occurring, but then for some reason it suddenly cleared itself!

I guess a restart of the computer may have cleared it if I had been desperate. Have you tried that?

I came into our office the other day and one of my colleagues was in a bit of a state. "Our server is making a funny buzzing noise. What's the problem? Is it terminal?"

I removed the stapler that had fallen on the Enter key and the noise stopped.

One of my friends called me a couple of months ago saying that his pc does not start anymore.
Checked all cables, checked if any card has slipped out of its socket - no problem.
Then it turned out his ENTER key got stuck down although nothing was on it - it just plain stuck.
He loosened it and the problem was solved.
