RealCADD and iPocket Draw

The top left corner of the screen has always been 0:0 on mac programs – so x to the right is positive and y down is positive. Like we, in the western world at least, read a book from top left down to bottom right!

If you draw a vertical line from top to bottom, then parallel "left" goes to the right. If you draw the line bottom to top, then parallel "left" indeed goes to the left. Similarly with a ...

I have just emailed it to you. Many thanks

I have opened your dxf file with RealCADD (and iPocket Draw) and I don't see any red line.

Version 4.10 is very good and once the scaling is sorted out, the drawings are pretty much usable apart from a bit of tidying up. Version 4.20 seems to add in a 45º red line grouped with every ...

I meant to say that the link you provide doesn't seem to work – I found the new beta version at http://www.adx-online.com/RealCADD.zip

4.20 has worked flawlessly so far (on Mac OS 10.6). Not over keen on the big blue dots when you select more than one object – but I can easily live with it! :D And ...

Thanks Eric – I've got it now! Very easy.

I haven't used the library much, but I'm now just starting to. But I don't quite understand how best to put items into the library.

Say I am drawing a boat sailplan. I draw a specific item – say a mastband or a sheave block. Now I want to move those items into the library so that I can use them on ...
