Hi,
Creating a part:
sketch -> line tool:
I click the start of the line and click to end the line, but the line tool no longer continues to stay active. It acts as through I'm "click-drag"-ing.
I'm definitely only single clicking or "click-click" mode.
REF [2013 SOLIDWORKS Help - Sketch Modes ]
It used to work fine, now it isn't.
Any ideas?
I'm using SolidWorks 2013 SP3.0.
Don't click the end of the line. Click once hold mouse button down move to ending point and release. then the line commcand will still be active. Also if you hit enter it will brin g back up last command. Hope this helps Tom.
I'm not clicking the end of the line, I'm clicking to end the line as in:
I click once (origin), then click somewhere else, a line is created, but the line tool ends and doesn't let me continue drawing the line.
For example:
I want to draw a triangle.
I use the line tool.
I click point 1 and then I click point 2 (some distance away horizontally). The line tool is supposed to continue to allow me to finish drawing the triangle without me having to re-activate the line tool.
If I click and drag from point 1 to point 2, then it does this correctly by drawing a line, but the tool closes again.
In either case, the tool should stay open.
Tools > Options > System Options > General. Un-check "Single command per pick".
it is unchecked.
thanks for looking though.
Apologies all, in my haste and frustration I didn't try closing down solidworks and restarting it (which solved it).
TLDR: For some reason, this issue occurred, but was solved through "have you tried turning it off and on again".
Phil,
What does TLDR mean?

I learned this recently myself.
