I am using a Mac Yosomite. The f1 function works to pop up help. The other function keys do not work.
Am I missing something ? or doing something wrong ?

Have you used any applications that might have reassigned the Function keys?
The functionality of the FN keys in Mac OS X, the setting is under System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys checkbox. F3 thru F11 can be chosen from the TABS F12 can be accessed in the VIEW menu F1 - Help F2 - Offset F3 - Select F4 - Edit F5 - View F6 - Point F7 - Line F8 - Circle F9 - Shapes F10 - Text F11 - Dimension F12 - Extended Keyboard The entire list of shortcut keys is in the User Guide / Getting Started / Keyboard at the bottom of that section.

I guess Midnight Software works on Sundays.
I sent your message to them this morning. Here is their reply. F1 and F2 are the only function keys that do anything on the Mac version of DeltaCad. Sincerely yours, Midnight Software, Inc.

See if you can use the keyboard to access the top pull down menus
When you press and hold the ALT key one of the characters in each Menu will be underlined. Most of the time it will be the first character but sometimes it will be a different character. example: ALT-D will pull down the Draw menu then ALT-L will pull down the Line menu then ALT-L will select the Line option. example: ALT-E will pull down the Edit menu then ALT-E will select the Edit option then ALT-D will select the Edit Object function < - - - note character d is underlined Then see if you can assign these keystrokes to the function keys. Google "How to Assign Shortcut Keys on a Mac" for help. p.s. Macros won't help you here.

AlwMVMO posted the F key shortcuts awhile back, and I would like to use them. He sketched out how to enter them on a Mac, but I can't make it work for anything but F1 and F2. Could anyone please walk me through the setup process? I'm using El Capitan, version 10.11.5.
Thanks, mapleleaf
