RealCADD and iPocket Draw

It's great Eric!

There's one little tiddly thing that would make it absolutely perfect (for me that is ): re-joining an unjoined polyline/ploycurve. I'll start a new thread!

Many thanks

George

Sounds good to me!!

I'm not really fussed about line thickness on the screen increasing with zoom – to me it's natural that as you magnify things, they look bigger. But I quite like the new situation (in RC) that a thin line stays thin on the screen when you zoom – so I normally have "Zoom path width" deselec...

Hi Mike Eric added the "Zoom path width" function at your request. It is to do with zoom (magnification) not scale or resize. Originally and correctly if you selected a line width (say 0.5 point) it stayed at that width whatever your zoom – so as you magnified the drawing it appeared to ge...

Preferences >> General >> Zoom path width.

Check it and the path width is magnified when you zoom and should print true to size.

Leave it un-checked and the path width does not get apparently bigger as you zoom, but may tend to print very thin.

Cheers!

Hi Eric Rescale on pasting option is really great! As is the align to a locked object – many thanks for implementing those. My sort of drawing rarely calls for the use of the grid, but I tried it out of course! – and zooming outside the drawing – excellent! And I see that Action >> Scale has been re...

If I read your post correctly, you set up a drawing size of 10" x 8" and a paper size of 10" x 8" – all good! But then instead of drawing within your "drawing size rectangle" you drew elsewhere – outside the drawing. This is like having your of paper all set up on your ...

Hi Mike With RC (and most other Mac based 2D CAD programs) you really do have to set your drawing size as a starting point. And draw at a scale so that everything will fit on the drawing. Otherwise you are going to get printing, scaling and zooming difficulties. The drawing size is not the same as t...

I've just realised how to do it! Click on one end of the red line, drag to the other end and click!

Perfecto!

I've solved my own problem!

Hi Eric I have started to use "Symmetry with an axis", which I really haven't up til now. If you look at the image below, I want to flip the curved line so that it is vertically symmetrical about the red line. So I want to make image A into image C. So, in Image A, I select the curve and ⌘...
