Re: Breaking a dimension line
The question is : When a change the size of a text, must I keep the top or the bottom of the text? I think mostly fonts grow from the bottom. That's certainly the case with all the word processors I have used – as you enlarge the font most of the growth is at the bottom. Which is another good reaso...

Re: Breaking a dimension line
That's what I often do with my auto script (though I didn't in the example I posted) – put a space before and after the dimension text – there is the facility to do that. You can also add other things (like "mm" or "J = ") anything you want to be in the dimensioning. In principle...

Re: Breaking a dimension line
You have to Ungroup the line and dimension group. Then you can move the text and leave the dimension line like it is. If you want the text on top of the line, bring the text to the front and give it a white background. I have an auto-dimensioning Script that does the job for you – looks like this: S...

Re: Centres of Area
Bonjour Eric I can understand that - there are 2800+ sides! The test that if no side cuts another is really useful because if that is the case, then you don't get a CoA – which tells me that somewhere I have something wrong – usually a double line from a trim that has joined into the polygon – so wh...

I'll email it now!

Edit – I turned them back to lines to see how many elements there were – one has 2851 sides and the other has 2703 sides – so they are very "poly" polygons

Centres of Area
Hi Eric I love the new centres of area feature :D :D But is it possible to make it so that the calculation can be turned off in preferences – with really complex polygons it slows the program down so that it actually stops responding and I have to force quit. On RC b9 the same drawing is fine (sligh...
Re: Beta 10
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...
Re: Beta 10
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!

Re: Beta 10
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...
Re: Beta 10
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...
