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...

Re: Polylines - Polygons - topics
Hubert Select the objects (lines. polygons, arcs, bezier curves, etc). Click ⌥⌘L. Click ⌥⌘P. And it's done. To turn it all back to individual lines click ⌥⌘L. If necessary use ⌘J to select all the joined lines and then ⌥⌘P to turn it back to a polygon/polycurve again. But you can't turn arcs, curves...

Re: Parallels... topics and near it
Hi Mike, Hubert The trouble with duplicate and move is that it is OK for vertical or horizontal lines but not for lines at other angles – unless you do a lot of sums with cosines of the angle :( . And no good for polycurves which is what I deal with a lot. Other than that, I use ⌘M a lot. Oddly enou...

Re: Urgent request how to work with scale
Eric, Hubert Theoretically, RealCADD asks to change the scale of objects to be paste (with or without ⌥) when the scale of the objects is different than the scale of the active layer. I use this feature all the time without problems. But I don't check the "Through layers" box – I don't qui...
