Hi guys
On my desktop Mac which I use for Qcad in the workshop I always put the measurement into the bottom bar and hit return. However on my new to me 2017 MacBook Pro, when I hit return the line disappears. Have i missed a setting or something that I need to tick? Its frustrating me and meaning I can't do any drawings at home currently.
Mac os 11.1
Qcad 3.24.3
Cheers guys in advance

Re: Return key wont work
What happens if you hold down the fn key while hitting return? Macs treat "return" and "enter" as different things sometimes.

Didn’t think of trying that. Not encountered this problem before, only on this much newer model. Will give it a go later and see what happens
Re: Return key wont work
Tried all of the keys across the bottom left (fn,contol,option and command) but still no dice. This is really frustrating me now as I have drawings to do at home and I cant use my macbook for it.
Re: Return key wont work
What exactly disappears? The command line? A line in the drawing?
You could always try resetting your QCAD:

It could be that Enter is on your installation assigned as hotkey for a tool or function.
