Hi. I'm a long standing CAD user - currently still using CAD 2007 - and I have a new issue I've never experienced before. My temporary override keys (F3, F8, F9, etc.) are no longer working and I can't figure out why or what I might have done to cause this to happen. Any ideas or help, anyone??? They work in other applications, just not in CAD. Thanks!

Hi Bailey, welcome!!

You're familiar with the [cmd]CUI[/cmd], yes?

In the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor, you can view, print, or copy a list of shortcut keys, temporary override keys, or both. The shortcut keys and temporary override keys in the list are those keys used by the CUI files that are loaded in the program.

Can you verify that those keys have been loaded?

Command: CUI

Hi. Yes, my temp override keys were all loaded and active. Much to my chagrin, I noticed my "F Lock" key this morning and realized that was the problem...once I hit that I was good to go. Thanks for the willingness to help!!! I must have been too tired...

LOL...I understand completely! Good to know about the F-Lock feature too. My keyboard doesn't have one, so that isn't the first thing that comes to mind...although it is probably the easiest fix yet. Thanks!!
