Unable to Click on Keyboard Command or Option in Command Line

Issue

You attempted to click on a keyboard command in the Command line built into a Land F/X tool. When you attempt to click on the command to select it, the tool closes.

For example, you may have selected one of our tools to place a hatch such as a groundcover or Area Reference Note. When you select these hatch-related tools, the Command line prompts you to:

Select polyline to hatch, [Draw], [Multiple].

 

You may have tried to click within the shaded area surrounding the "Draw" or "Multiple" command, thinking it will act like a button and allow you to select that command.

 

However, when you click it, you simply exit the tool you selected.

Cause

Most Land F/X tools provide options that do not require you to press Enter after selecting them. Consequently, these tools do not allow you to click an option in the Command line.

Solution

Keyboard commands are meant to be just that – keyboard commands. Rather than trying to click on the command like a button, you'll need to type the appropriate character to run the command or select the option, which will be highlighted in blue in the Command line.

In this example, you'd type D to draw a hatch or M to select multiple areas within an existing closed polyline.
