Weird Chief behavior or Graphics Card Bug?

[bdammeyer]

Recently experienced some unusual things with Chief Architect Premier X11. 

 

I've found that at times my snaps will turn themselves off. Seems to be random. I know that hotkeys could be the culprit but I don't think that is actually what's happening. 

 

I've also had times where my copy and paste (ctrl-v, ctrl-c) wont work properly. Basically nothing happens when I execute the command (or sometimes a chief warning message pops up saying that nothing was actually copied.) 

 

The delete key will also not work at times - I will select an object and hit delete and nothing happens - then I hit delete again and again and again. Finally after multiple times - the object will delete. 

 

Recently its been the angle snap toggle flickering on and off like a strobe light. Which makes it impossible to draw straight lines (or walls).

Anybody else experience anything like what I'm describing? 

 

I'm thinking it is more of a computer problem than a chief architect problem because sketchup sometimes will not recognize the ctrl key and then magically will after 10 seconds or so. I've also noticed at times there will be a significant lag when typing (usually in an email in outlook). Im wondering if it could be a wireless keyboard issue?  

 

Figured Id post for help here considering it seems to act up mostly when working in Chief. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Quite possibly a wireless issue...   Check the batteries and the location of the USB receiver.   If you want to know for sure plug in a wired keyboard for a few days.

 

Let us know how it goes.
