Re: Circles and squares

You're absolutely right Mike! As usual. What's the point of opening up a new dialogue when the Edit dialogue is already available to do the job. So why not use it to pre-define data rather than post-define it. As an aside I think it would be good if the two circle Edit pallets showed Radius or Diame...

Circles and squares

Hi Eric This has been raised in earlier posts but I thought I would bring it up again. Do you think it would be a good idea to add a double-click to ovals and rectangles – specially those drawn from the centre? Then one could specify the radius etc before drawing the object. As of now if you draw a ...

Re: Parallel problems with imported files

Hi Eric I hadn't thought about layers! The drawing I was using in the video had several layers, but only one was active and only that one was visible – so I was working on the active layer – but I didn't have "on active layer" checked. But I can now reproduce the problems on a new drawing,...

Accuracy errors with 4.41b7 and b8

Hi Eric Something seems to have happened to the accuracy in the last two beta's. EG: I draw a line and I then enter, say, 950 in the Length box on the Edit pallet, I get a line L= 948. I tried with lots of different lines and all were inaccurate. The error seems to be a factor of 0.99836 If I enter ...

Parallel problems with imported files

Hi Eric I thought I would start a new thread on this because it has got spread over several others. As far as I can tell the new Dynamic Parallels works really well and does everything it says it does. It is very nice indeed. But on a drawing imported from DXF it behaves very oddly. It is difficult ...

Re: Positive y is up and angles

OK - great!

Will you look at parallels in (possibly?) DXF drawings – see Attributes post – at the same time?

Cheers -- George

Re: Positive y is up and angles

Hi Eric I think I didn't write the question very clearly. Say I want to draw a line at 35º drawing from top to bottom, with the top of the line inclined to the right. With Positive y is Down (original situation), I would need to draw a line at 125º. So I draw my line at approximately 125º and then I...

Positive y is up and angles

Hi Eric Something odd is happening to Angle on the Edit pallet when "positive y is up" is selected in the Preferences. I draw a line from top to bottom – normally this would be 90º. With positive y is up, the angle shows as 270º. I actually want my line to be at 35º to the vertical, so nor...

Re: Attributes

Hi Eric I think part of the problem that Hubert was having with Parallels could be that he was using it on drawings imported from DWG or DXF. The new dynamic parallels works pretty flawlessly on a new drawing as far as I have experienced. It does exactly what it says it does and does pretty much eve...
