[Tex/LaTex] texshop 3.62 sync not working with Mac OSX 10.11.5

forward-inverse-searchtexshop

Right-click 'sync' of highlighted words or phrases in TeXshop 3.62 under Mac OSX 10.11.5 has no effect, either from source or output. No errors appear, simply nothing happens. In the Typesetting preferences, the 'SyncTeX (TeX >= 2010)' option is selected (per other responses on this site). What could I be missing? Thanks.

"Alternatively, adding a line \synctex=1 in the preamble of a tex file triggers the synchronization with SyncTeX, not only with pdflatex, but with other TeX commands too." (http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/wiki/index.php/SyncTeX)

I tried this suggestion and it seems to work!

Short answer is no. While you can jump from the source to the output in the PDF (as commented, using Command key (⌘) and left-click), this won't happen automatically when you compile.

[Tex/LaTex] TeXShop search not working for multiple file source

In section 2.4 (Working with a Large Document) of the "TEXShop tips & tricks" there are some clues for you.

It is often handy to break a large document into more manageable subordinate parts and then create a “root” file which contains the preamble and \include commands to bring all the parts together for typesetting. To have TEXShop "know" which file to typeset when working on a subordinate file put the line

% !TEX root = path/to/rootfile.tex

at the top of your subordinate file; path/to/rootfile.tex is the relative or absolute path to the root file for this document.

This is has two benefits:

If you Command ⌘+T in included file, Texshop will still typeset the correct root.
Sources and pdf are properly synchronized for searching

P.S. You can access to "TEXShop tips & tricks" from help menu.
