I've just installed THERM 7.6 on my laptop, which is a MacBook pro running Windows 10 through Parallels. It all works fine except the space bar isn't recognized by THERM (not snapping to objects the way it normally does). I've tested the space bar in other programs on the Windows side of my computer and it works fine there. All of the other keys work just fine in THERM (arrow, numbers, functions), just not the space bar. I tried plugging in an external keyboard in case it had to do with not the laptop's internal keyboard, but still have the same problem.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Thanks!

I talked to a colleague who runs THERM on a Mac using parallels, and he said that the spacebar has never worked. It's not something that we can deal with in our software, unfortunately. It is nice to be able to snap to points in THERM. However, if you don't get points exactly lined up, when you generate boundary conditions, THERM will catch that, and put up a message asking if you want the program to try to fix those cases, or if you want to fix them by hand. If the points are very close together, letting the program automatically correct them and make them into one point works well.
