Hi JD, 2014.5 I wonder if the measure had been selected as I was writing the macro. Have to try again and see.
I’m surprised the spacebar doesn’t check radio buttons for you. I think it’s set up in Mac OS to do that. There are a number of ways things are set up to avoid using the mouse, and I think this is one of those. I’ll report back later, and thanks to both you and Raphael.
