Cannot use any Modify-functions

Hello everybody,

this week I've installed LibreCad in ist current Version.
I was used to work with AutoCAD mainly by Keyboard and left mouse-click several years ago.

The way to start and perform a modifying-function as e.g. scaling was (as I remember so far):

1. Draw an object
2. Enter the scale-command & return/left-click.
3. Select the object/s to be scaled &  return/left click.
4. Select a starting point.
5. Enter the scaling-factor &  return/left-click.

Unfortunately, I haven't found out yet how LibreCad handles the workflow.
Please, I Need some help / advice so that I can use this so far awesome looking program.

Many thanks to anyone in advance for their assistance.

Hello everybody again,

I've forgotten to mention that pressing return just quits all of the modifying-functions instead of continueing the procedure.

Thanks to all for constructive answers on this issue.

For keyboard usage, there was a regression which was fixed after 2.0.6 release. ( commit 281825356), this regression caused keyboard Enter was treated as Quit, rather than "Continue"

for step 4 "4. Select a starting point", this should be "Specify Reference Point".

To test this fix, you will need the git version before 2.0.7 is released.

I seem to have a similar problem.
What's the git version?

Good morning dixli,

thank you for your quick answer.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to implement the git you've referred in your reply.
Nor I don't know where to find the release 2.0.7. Or have I misunderstood something?

My OS: WIN7 Home Premium
My deck: Notebook (MSI)

Could you give some more advice how to fix this issue?
Thank you very much in advance for your support.

There is no release 2.0.7 for now. If you can build from source, you may use the latest commit from master branch.

If you don't know how to build, please be patient, I'll prepare a nightly build for Windows this evening and give you a note when finished.

Sorry about the delay, but now you can download a Windows installer from latest git version.

Please find it in sourceforge.net NightlyBuilds and look for LibreCAD-Installer-2.0.6-63-g9ce91f1.exe

This version is 63 commits ahead of release 2.0.6 and the ENTER key issue should be solved there.
It has more bug fixes than new features, there should be no risk to use it.
