RealCADD and iPocket Draw

Bonjour Eric I'm personally quite happy using the Command line – separately from the Edit pallet. In fact the more I use it, the more I like it! One is a creating tool the other an editing device, so it's not illogical to have separate pallets for them. And it does overcome part of the problem of ob...

Well I think what Eric was saying is that the command line was just a proving ground and that eventually the system would transfer to the Edit pallet – but I'm not entirely sure of that!

Cheers -- George

The only problem I have with using the command line is that it is yet another pallet open on the screen – and there are getting to be rather a lot of them and it's getting a bit crowded! If eventually the functionality transferred into the Edit pallet, that would be nice. But I can live with it as a...

Are you drawing lines using two tips? If so, to draw a horizontal line you have to enter the y dimension (which will be 0). So to draw a 500 long horizontal line left to right starting from x=1000, y=2000 you would enter 1000 2000 500 0. Or if you want it to go right to left you would enter 1000 200...

Hi Mike I must be misunderstanding. Where is the "command line?" It's under the Window menu. It took me a while to master because I had never used it. If you click Windows >> Command line, a little command line pallet pops up. Then you can use it. Say you want to draw a 100mm diameter circ...

George, nothing with the polygons? That's the second time you've asked me about polygons Eric! I finally woke up this morning thinking "why does Eric keep asking me about polygons?" – and drew another polygon – a closed one this time – I'd only been drawing open ones each time you asked -...

Good Morning Eric

All is fine now

And arc by diameter is fixed too

It never occurred to me to try click-and-click mode.

Many thanks

Hi Eric I can draw an irregular polygon just fine – as many points as I want – with or without attraction. I can use the pencil tool OK The spline tool draws the first and second points but no more – it just stops drawing. In fact when you click for the third time, you do get a third node, very clos...

Hi Eric A few tools don't seem to work: Arc by three points Circle by three points Spline tool Arc by diameter – works in isolation but not by attraction – e.g. you can't create an arc from the end of one line to the end of another, which you could before. I'm getting used to the new Tools layout :D...

Oh – now I've read it more – I see it's iPocketdraw not RealCADD – don't know if the answer I gave is good for that!

One of these days I'll get me an iPad ...
