Anonymous · ‎2008-11-12

When I hit the shift key to force the ortho it no longer works. Any thoughts?

You don't say what version of Archicad you are using - please add a signature to your profile and the info will always be there.

Assuming it is one of the later versions the first place I would check is the setting in the Work Environment for "Mouse Constraints and Methods".

were you editing a curtain wall before this happened?
when i've accidentally used shift constraint when editing a cw, the shift and alt to create a copy when dragging something on plan stop working. restart archicad and don't use shift in editing a cw.

What are you trying to do exactly and what are you doing and in which viewpoint?

Have you turned on grid snap perhaps? The shortcut is 'S' and is easily activated by accident.
