I have just started to use max 8 and it seems as though there is a problem ( maybe it is a new feature ?) with keyboard shortcuts when in subobject mode. Particularly Vertex it is seems as tough all the viewport shortcuts T,F,L are disabled or active obscure tools like target weld.
Anybody else found this ?
Thanks as always.
yes and its incredibly infuriating. Not sure yet how to resolve it.
keyboard shortcut override toggle?
Subobject modes have their own shortcut list that overrides the main shortcut list.
the possibility to do this has been there at least since version 6 - the subobject shortcuts were disbled by default though
Thanks guys
Thanks guys - as always the best place to brush up on my 3DS knowledge - now all I have to do is put my computer back together and I’ll be happy. It blew up on me yesterday 
Old school big flash and some ram pins burnt off, pretty crazy shit - it was acting a little strange lately but, I never expected the fireworks show.
i just load im my key file from previous builds and it sorts out everything just nicely
