Re: Beta 6...

Hi Hubert The matter is quite complex but not complicate. Better you go to use Excel to calculate. Then it’s your decision what you need to put into the calculation. The most common method uses to split up the shape by triangles and then… The mathematical formulas are not so heavy as you would like ...

Re: Beta 6...

Hi Eric When you zoom with ⌘+ or ⌘-, the zoom is centered on selected object(s). When the rulers are displayed, you can drag the cross at the upper left corner and put the origin where you want. For a lot of my drawings I set x,y = 0, 0 at what is commonly called the zero point in yacht design and c...

Re: Beta 6...

Good evening Hubert! In Photoshop there isn't any need to click somewhere I know, but photoshop is a raster image manipulation program (I do use it a lot for website design) – not a vector CAD program. So images trend to be much smaller in real physical size and everything much fuzzier generally. No...

Thank you for „double click on the Parallels Tool’s icon“
I think we have a double-click alternative on all the tools with options now – which is very nice :D

Re: Beta 6...

Hi Hubert I do often draw something small, just a short line usually, specifically to centre a zoom, just as you describe – but it would be nice just to be able to double click on the screen and have the zoom centre on that ... I design sail boats and often the proposal drawings are quite large (lik...

Re: Parallels... topics and near it

Mike: I'll be waiting for your manual! You're so much more of a power user than I am, I'm sure to learn a lot. I'm not sure that is true at all – but nice of you to say so! I decided to make it in PHP/HTML, so it could be used in a browser – but of course I have to do all the coding as well, which h...

Re: Polylines - Polygons - topics

Eric I think that it is better to : - select the objects - Duplicate ⌘D - Convert to lines ⌥⌘L - Convert to polygon ⌥⌘P - Choose the back color - Send backward ⌥⌘B Yes in a perfect world I guess that would be the way to go! But I'm not fussed if I can't immediately re-create a radius for example – I...

Re: Beta 6...

Hi Eric Can you tell us what is new – makes it easier to test :D I can see RGB numbers on the colour palette – which is nice. I don't use colour much (except on proposal drawings), so it has never fussed me overmuch. But I agree, it is really hard to pick out what colour you have made something if y...

Re: Hatches...

Good morning Hubert! That is pretty strange – I've found RealCADD to be 100% good at hatching closed shapes and it makes a pretty good stab at unenclosed shapes, overlapping shapes etc.. In the sketch below the lines are not made into polygons – they are just selected and hatched. Screen Shot 2015-0...

Re: Hatches...

Hi Hubert It looks as if the two rectangles that you are hatching are incomplete areas. Or you have other bits of unjoined lines left from construction. When that happens, just draw a rectangle, using snap, hatch it and then delete the rectangle. The little rectangles can be coloured white and broug...
