sketch relations

[ConceptTransporters]

During a sketch, it is second nature for me to click on a line and type alt-h to make it horizontal or alt-v to make it vertical or whatever. Recently though, something has changed to where I cannot invoke the alt-h keyboard entry to add the horizontal relation during a sketch. The same goes for symmetric and other relations. But vertical works as usual and so do some others. Instead of alt-h for horizontal, alt-shift-h works. And I haven't assigned keyboard hotkeys to alt-h. I'm perplexed. Anyone know what's going on?

SWx must have changed them. I just checked my hotkeys and their is nothing set for those constraints.

In my install of SW07-SP3.1, if a line is highlighted in a sketch, the Alt-h or Alt-v adds the horiz or vert constraint. If it is not highlighted the Help file is activated.

Yeah, on our other computer it works as expected. I'm thinking maybe it's a windows setting that got changed and is affecting the way solidworks behaves toward this.
