Can't select objects first, then mirror

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Since upgrading to Rhino 8 for windows, I can’t mirror objects by selecting them first and then starting the mirror command, with the shortcut buttons I have allocated for the command.
I have to start the mirror command, select the objects, press enter (extra step), and then mark out the divide line…
Strangely if i use the tool icon I can select the objects first, then run the command by selecting the icon…
Is anyone else experiencing this?

In the first case can you clarify what the “shortcut buttons” actually are?

I assume the second case is using the native Mirror button in the Transform toolbar?

Are you sure both methods are executing the same command macro?

Hi
The shortcut buttons I use for this are CTR+SHIFT+M - that runs the command _Mirror
Yes the mirror button that works for this is on the transform toolbar, and it runs the same, _Mirror, command
Used to work no problem in Rhino 7…
If I select the objects first, then run the command using my shortcut buttons, it prompts me to select mirror plane, but if I select anywhere on the screen it de-selects the objects I had selected, and ends the command. I also can’t select any of the options in the mirror command - next to “start of mirror plane”

Yeah, that is weird, if I create the same keyboard shortcut for _Mirror here, if I don’t preselect the objects, the command just ends… Hmmm.

Ha ha, so the opposite way around to my problem :slight_smile:
Sorry I should have tried another shortcut option before I asked… I changed it to a different key combination (CTR + F5) and it works fine…

Seems like it just doesn’t like the CTRL + SHIFT + M option…

Thanks!

Thanks, I see this - it seems any macro on Ctrl-Shift M has to be run twice in a row to register.
RH-82780 Keyboard Shortcut glitch

I’ve noticed a couple of other keyboard glitches only on Rhino 8 (or maybe it’s just my system?)

  • I have the command: DupBorder allocated to the key combination: ctrl + alt + U
    If I sub object select a face and then run the DupBorder command using that key combination it succesfully runs the command, but it also types into the command bar the letter U, as if I’m trying to start a new command…? Doesn’t do this in version 7

  • If i select a layer in the layers panel I can’t delete it by clicking the delete button on my keyboard? This worked in Rhino 7

-Not keyboard related… but if I have sub layers under a parent layer - I can no longer drag those layers down into the empty space to remove them from the parent layer
