RealCADD and iPocket Draw

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 ⌘...

Hi Mike:

Mine is like Eric's – when I select Action >> Divide the box for the number of divisions is on focus and I can enter the number I want directly without doing anything.

I've always had a bit of trouble using the x and y coordinates in the Edit menu – so I've been experimenting! Here are the results: Assume we have a vertical line, so x1 and x2 are the same. My drawing was at 1:20 scale in mm – not that that matters. Move : Entering -500 in the x1 and x2 boxes moves...

Hi Mike I think you can do all of that in RealCADD ok. "⌘M >> Circular >> First Circle or Arc" gives you multiple rotations about any centre you choose (I usually select "or next click" because my pivot point is usually already drawn, so I don't have to fuss about the actual x an...

Oh – I think just as it is now – by a multiple. We are only suggesting renaming an existing function really. Then if you want to resize something from 3¼" to 5½" say, you just do the sum 5.5/3.25 = 1.692 and use that as the resizing factor. If something is made up of lots of lines, curves,...

Yes Mike – my resized 5" pulley will dimension at 5" and if I move it 6" down the mast, it moves 6". Because it's still at the same scale (the Drawing Scale) – just bigger. I really think if Eric changed the "Action >> Scale" function to read "Action >> Resize"...

Hi Mike I think the problem is partly one of semantics. The Drawing Scale is getting confused with the Scale command. I really think that the Scale command is just as it should be – it scales an object – makes it smaller or bigger – but doesn't change the actual drawing scale of the object, the draw...

Not confusing NULL with Zero are we Eric!!!!

Um ... I've had a few glasses of red wine after a hard day splitting logs in readiness for the winter – so I may not be getting the point perfectly. But if you scale a drawing to a new scale and then wish to continue drawing at the new scale, you need to set the scale of that layer to the new scale ...
