'DELETE' key not working

'DELETE' key not working

'DELETE' key not working

(OP)
I may be missing something obvious, but I have 10 years on Catia and I have never had this problem.

Simply put, the delete key no longer does ANYTHING in my Ford install of Catia R22. I use (5) installs of Catia (R18, R19, R20, and an additional R22) and it works fine in all the others. It works in Windows. It woks in everything else I try.

I'm looking for a button or setting that I flipped to make this happen without any luck. What the hell did I do?

Solved.

So, after 3 days of screwing around with this all I had to do was post on the forum and *bang* I figured it out in 10 minutes.

Somehow, the 'delete' function had been removed from the delete key.

For anyone else with this problem (or other key function issues):

R-click on a menu bar
'Customize'
'Commands' tab
Category: 'Edit'
Highlight 'Delete'
click "Show Properties"
Click in the "Accelerator" box
click "Other..." button
Select "Del"
Click "Add"

The simplest answer to the most complicated problems... I hate when that happens.

RE: 'DELETE' key not working

Sounds like your CATSettings got changed and the delete key functionality. As long as you select file>exit (don't hit the X in the upper left corner) your custom setting should get saved to your local CATSettings.
