I may have found part of the problem. I went through each tool and checked out everything in each context menu and it looks like my computer has something backwards or scrambled. This is a long and a bit confusing, but here goes:
When “Group” and “Mark With Construction Points” are being used, it says [GROUP] [CPOINT] by the "Show Instructor" button. When they are not being used, nothing is shown on the bottom.
"Trigonometric sense" will say yes or no. It is the only one that does that shows both on my computer
All others are the opposite and show nothing when they ARE in use, and show [NO…. when NOT in use].
These tools: Rectangle, Polygon, Circle, Ellipse, Parallelograms, 3 Part Circle, and Arc - all have the same discrepancy with their context menus.
With context menu item “Generate Faces”, the context menu shows:
Generate Faces (current=Yes) -->F8
The bottom shows: [GEN. NO FACES] and nofaces are generated.
*******I know that an arc can’t have a face because it isn’t a closed loop, but I thought I’d mention the discrepancy
When the context menu shows:
Generate Faces (current=No) -->F8
There is nothing about faces listed on the bottom and faces are generated.
With context menu item “Generate Curves”, the context menu shows:
Generate Curves (current=Yes) -->F8
The bottom shows:[NO CURVES]
When the context menu shows:
Generate Curves (current=No) -->F9
There is nothing about curves listed on the bottom.
I don’t know what “Generate Curves” actually does, so I can't tell if it is working or not, but I'm assuming that when the context menu says "no" it really means yes, as with the other tools.
The protractor only works with the Line and Sector tools
It does, however, show in context menus of all tools, whether they are supposed to have it or not.
There isn't anything about it by the instructor button whether it’s on or off, even with the tools it does work with. Has anyone had any problems like these?
