Another question about layers

<r>How are the layers ‘layered’. What’s the Z order of layers? What determines whether one layer is on top of, or underneath another layer?I thought it might be determined by the layer number, but that doesn’t match my observations. Should I be able to see black lines in a layer underneath another l...

limitations

<t>I’m coming across a number of areas where I think the Cadintosh interface could be improved:-Quick Layer It would be convenient to also be able to scroll up and down the layers one line at a time and also jump up and down by 100. Being able to enter the offset is also useful and still required, b...

Re: Symbol of a symbol

<r>Well I want to be able to create multiple instances of a graphic but be able to modify just the one base graphic and for all instances to reflect the modification. A symbol is perfect for this.However, I then also want a variation of that symbol, but which will also change to reflect any modifica...

Symbol of a symbol

Is it possible to have a symbol that is based on another symbol? So when the first symbol is updated, the second symbol will reflect this also. Is it possible to add in a symbol when creating a symbol?Ken G i l l e t t_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Re: Text format

<r>So what you are saying is the Format menu is completely inoperative? So why is it even there? If it’s not functional, it should not be displayed.Am I right then that there is NO way to actually apply any Bold or Italic (or other) formatting to ANY text in Cadintosh? This is something of a serious...

Re: Text format

<r>In fact, I just tried to use the Edit Element tool which includes a Font list. But whatever font I select, it doesn’t actually change it when I ‘Apply’ the settings.The only way I can actually change the font is using the 'Edit Text Attributes’ tool which as I said has no provision for Bold, Ital...

Re: Text format

<r>Do you mean the tool that brings up the text options dialog? Even once the dialog is open, the Format menu has no effect whatsoever.Are you suggesting that I should just use the options in that dialog? In which case, what IS the purpose of the Format menu? However, that dialog is not helpful as t...

Text format

<t>I’m trying to change the format of some text I have in the drawing. I can see the format menu and it has all the options I need, but I cannot see how to actually change any text.Normally I would expect to be able to select the text and then choose an option from the menu and the text display woul...

Re: Outstanding issues

<r>When rotated they split apart. Any partial curves move, but don’t rotate so the symbol is badly broken. It only seems to occur when it includes partial curves. > On 16 Apr 2015, at 15:28, Thorsten Lemke <EMAIL email="lemke@lemkesoft.de">lemke@lemkesoft.de</EMAIL> [cadintoshmac] <<EMAIL email="cad...

Outstanding issues

<t>Some while ago I asked about having Headers and Footers back and Thorsten put it on his ToDo list. How are we doing with that list Thorsten? I want to do some printing and really need to include what I used to be able to do with H & F. Any idea when we might see their re-introduction?Also, ho...
