No matter how many times I double-click, the keyboard cursor does not appear. Even pressing the Reset All button does not solve the problem.

Hello,

could you please check whether you can edit the legend through scripting, as a workaround?
You can find how to use Mechanical scripting to change the legend in below article.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thank you so much for replying faster than anyone else.
Afterwards, I tried looking for other solutions, and I was able to resolve the issue using the method I found at this address.
If I come across something I don’t understand in the future, I’d appreciate your help again.
Have a great day!

Hi

Thank you for the feedback - good to hear that this article helped.

 

In order to help others, did you use environmental variable in Windows, ANS_USE_OPENGL_LEGEND_EDIT to 1, to resolve the issue?


Thank you and all the best

Hello Erik,
First, the method I initially used was to go into Ansys Workbench (Mechanical) → Automation Tab → Manage and add the coding uploaded by Rohith Patchigolla, which creates a separate Contour Editor.
After reading your post, I also tried adding the environmental variable ANS_USE_OPENGL_LEGEND_EDIT. With this method, I was able to confirm that the Edit button, which appears when right-clicking the Legend, also worked properly.
In conclusion, both methods were successful. I hope this helps.
