Shift Key for Apple

[Stephen50]

I'm running VCarvePro while using the tutorial and the distortion portion of the software I must highlight the top and bottom line thereby letting the software know where I want the distorted word placed. I'm using an Apple computer but having no luck on finding the right combination of a key(s) to make it work. Anyone have a suggestion? The software works great except for this prolbem.

Stephen, a few of the guys on here use Mac's so maybe a bit more info will get you some feedback. I.e. Are you using Bootcamp, Parallels or Fusion, which version and which version of Windows do you have loaded?

[Stephen50]

I'm using parallels and windows 7 from what I've read is a MAC keyboard internally is different than a Windows keyboard. The keyboard I'm presently using is wired so any suggestions anyone puts forth is appreciated.

I use Parallels and XP and, if I understand your question, the shift key is the same. There are a few different key combinations but the shift key is not one of them. If I am not mistaken, Parallels will let you asign some Mac keys to Win keys.

I'm attempting to use the distortion on VCarve Pro the problem I'm having is when I select the word then move to select the vectors to distort the word then the word is deselected. What is the process to assign the keys to complete the task?

[waynelocke]

I don't don't know the distort text tool. Do you mean wrap text along curve?
I just did a "wrap text" test. The shift key works fine in Aspire.
Preferences in Parallels has a list of Mac to Windows keystrokes under the keyboard icon. I think that you can change some or all of them but the shift key is not in there.

Stephen,

May be a stupid question, but are you holding the shift key down when selecting the additional vector?
