Would one of you guys using GSU try a few things and report your findings to me? There are some slight differences between SU5Pro (which is what I use) and GSU. In an effort to do a better job at easing frustrations for some of the new users, it would help if I knew a few more things.
First, draw something. It doesn't matter what. A box is fine. Dimensions don't matter. Select geometry and:
1. Get the Move tool. Hit the Ctrl key but don't hold it. What happens to the cursor? You should get a + symbol when the Ctrl key is pressed. Does it remain after you let go? Does it go away if you tap the Ctrl key again?
2. Get the Rotate tool and do the same.
Now get the Tape Measure tool. Press and release the Ctrl key. Click on an edge of the box and drag away from that edge. Click the mouse a second time. Do you end up with a construction line?
Repeat that but hold the Ctrl key before clicking with the mouse and hold it until you click the second time. Is the behavior different?
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
