for the first problem, does it work if you select the entity, then do "Modify/Delete Selected" from the main menu? If so, we know it's a keymap issue, and we can do code review there.

for the second issue, "dimensional linear" means to select from user option (in the top toolbar area, hard to notice for first time users, and this should be fixed in LC 2.1) to be either horizontal or vertical.

In general, you can press keyboard Esc to stop get the effect of right click. To kill all current actions (active or paused), use shortcut Ctl-K (on Mac, this may mean Cmd-K), or from the main menu: "Edit/Selection Pointer"

Back again! I have installed v 2.0.8 Maverick; then tried Yosemite and have the same problems w/ both. I'm attempting to follow the tutorial re Dimensioning:

1. After selecting an entity and attempting to delete it with the 'Delete' key..doesn't work…no response. Have to go to 'Select/Select Entity', select the entity (line), then goto 'Modify/Delete selected' to delete it.

2. Re Dimensioning: following the tutorial with a rectangle, I select 'Dimension/Horizontal' and it won't leave 'Linear'. The icons on the left show the upper-right 'Linear.' Clicking on the 'Horizontal' icon doesn't work either; won't leave 'Linear'.
Again, I have OS 10.8.5 installed. If I go higher several app'ns won't work; tried it.
What can be the problem?
