RealCADD and iPocket Draw

Hi Eric

I can see the new menu but I don't understand how you can configure a keyboard shortcut??

It sort of repeats right-clicking on the drawing space doesn't it?

Ah - that did it – it had retracted and was hiding under the dock, right over to the left of the screen.

Thanks Eric!

And it does appear to be very much faster with the M1 chip – though it's hard to tell without a Tools menu!

Hi Eric

So I installed RealCADD on my other laptop (which has an M1 chip) to see if PDF extracts worked faster, and entered my registration number etc. All good, RC knows it's me. But the Tools window won't show!!!!! All the rest are there OK. And go away if I deselect them. If I use a keyboard ...

Hi Eric

With complicated drawings – specially (maybe only?) with those extracted from a PDF – v. 5.40 is very slow. Almost unusable at times. So, after I extract a drawing, I revert to using v. 5.31 which is much faster on the same extracted drawing.

I have many ...

Hi Eric

Great - downloaded just fine now!

I have two PDF's that RealCADD can't extract – both are scans of a document. I've tried opening them in Preview and then exporting them again as a PDF (this works when Adobe won't print properly, which seems to be quite common!), but that didn't make any ...

Hi Eric

I've just realized that I only have v. 5.32b9 – The zip file for v. 5.40 on the download page seems to actually open as v 5.31??

Cheers -- George

Mostly it works very well. I'm amazed how much I use both Annotation and Extraction – often in things far removed from designing or drawing.

It's made dealing with many official forms and all sorts of PDF documents used in bookkeeping or record keeping so much better and easier to deal with ...
