Re: Copy and Paste
Hi Eric I know I can import a PICT picture OK. But even if the picture in the clipboard is a PICT image, I can't import it into RC directly from the clipboard – at least I don't think I can ???? I have to paste it into something first and save it as a PICT file, which means using an intermediate pro...

Re: Copy and Paste
Bonsoir Eric! I can copy and paste text OK. But pictures don't seem to work. Here is an image of the clipboard with a picture in it: Picture 1.png But this won't paste into RC. The actual item in the clipboard is a picture (as a PICT file I guess). It would paste into ClarisCad Ok and the curve – wh...

Copy and Paste
Hi Eric One thing that would be very good is to be able to Copy and Paste to RealCADD from other programs and from RealCADD to other programs. At the moment Copy & Paste in the RC environment seems to be restricted to to and from other RC files. It seems that RC doesn't use the Mac'c clipboard? ...

Re: Dynamic dimensions?
You are both absolutely right of course – I was only joking – well maybe half joking! I am very conscious however that RealCadd cost me $135 – I didn't have to pay $3000+ – and all updates have been free. And it does pretty much what I need it to, pretty efficiently – and where it doesn't I can usua...

Re: Dynamic dimensions?
Hi Mike I don't know about iPD, but RC is mildly quirky about stretching more than one object at a time. In ClarisCad, you could grab and object and its associated dimension line and drag the whole lot and the dimensions increased or decreased appropriately. This worked fine for vertical and horizon...

Re: Suggestion
Oh – I'm glad about that. It wasn't logical that it wouldn't work! Boat drawings are nearly always curves and seriously odd shapes. So you need lots of data to define them. And a lot of the parts are big. Even with the boat I am currently working on (20') a lot of the drawings have to drop down to 1...

Re: Suggestion
Mike: Can't you ungroup the dimension group so you get a dimension line (with arrows or whatever) and a number which is text. Then give the text a white background. Then, if necessary, move it to the front, so it will sit on top of the dimension line, not under it. Then move it over the dimension li...

Re: Suggestion
Hi Mike: L1 is the distance the witness lines extend beyond the dimension line L2 sets the length of the witness lines from the dimension line towards the object being dimensioned. So if you set L1 to 10 and L2 to 50 the witness lines will extend 50 px from the dimension line towards the object and ...

Re: Suggestion
Hi Eric Ok this worked for me (on the drawing I posted): I drew a line at the start on the right hand side. The used Cmd-M to repeat it at -200 intervals. Then trimmed all the lines top and bottom. That is what I usually do and up until now I have used those as the dimension lines as per original qu...
