I’m running Rhino 7 on Mac , lately SmartTrack isn’t behaving normally , the usual trailing reference lines aren’t following my mouse cursor smoothly as I move it around . Instead it feels stuck or frozen until I click roughly near where I want the point to start , and only then does it engage and snap properly . This is throwing off my precise point placement flow and making modeling frustrating .
Did i turn some setting on ir is this a glitch or bug ?
This is Rhino 7? nothing has changed in this regard. Please run SystemInfo and post the results, maybe something in your environment will give us a clue. Thanks!
Thanks for the swift reply Japhy , see below :

If this was working for you before (in Tahoe) running resetPreferences might help. Did you recently upgrade your macOS? Sonoma (macOS 14) was the last officially supported OS for Rhino 7.
i did recentyl follow along the software update on my computer , i guess that is around the same time this began .. that would be a drag to reset everything , you think that might be the only way ?
There were a lot of changes in Tahoe on UI interaction that mades it difficult to even support Rhino 8. Rhino 7 isn’t going to be updated to support the latest macOS changes.
I suspect you would need to downgrade your OS to get everything working the as it did before.
Hey ! not bad , that did it . thanks so much !!
