RealCADD and iPocket Draw

Hi Eric

We seem to have lost the ability to set the drawing size by multiplying the page size by an amount other than a whole number. So I can't specify the drawing width to be *1.25 the page width for example. I can set it to be *2, *3 etc, but anything other than a whole number reverts down to the whole number beneath it (so *1.xx reverts to *1, *2.xx reverts to 2 and so on).

Still works if you use actual numbers (mm, inches etc) and you can make it any ol' size you want.

Not a huge problem of course – but I liked it how it was!

George,
It's working for me on 4.40. Are you using a different version?

How do you do this?

Hi Mike

I'm using 4.41b2 – see the "Library" thread. That beta version added a + button to the library so you could add items easily. It also added a little icon bottom left on the main window so you can toggle the page break visibility on and off without going to Preferences. I4.41b1 addressed a problem with Scripts and attractions – Perpendicular didn't work.

I guess the little drawings size bug came with the 41b2 version. You can make the drawings size any size you want regardless of page size:
Eric wrote an autosize line script (and then I added some extra bits to it). It works really well for whole numbers (which is fine for me because I normally just use whole mm), but it has a few hiccups with x.xx type numbers and doesn't work at all with fractional numbers. I think I could fix the x.xx problems – can't even begin to think how to deal with fractions however! It gives you this sort of dimensioning (which I have to do a lot) in one hit:
I can post the code if you feel it might be useful for you?
