[Solved] Is there a way to change the size of an existing text box?

I understand how to move it, but even after the handles appear at the corners, they can't be chosen to resize the box. I'm often creating really big text boxes to ensure there is enough room not to clip the text. But afterwards, I'd like to resize the box to a more appropriate size. Thanks for any g...

Re: [Solved] Erratic display and drawing of lines

Thanks. I've been away from the app for a bit. I'll checkout the new BETA build.

[Solved] Erratic display and drawing of lines

Attached is a drawing where I am having difficulty in placing lines on the right hand side. It also shows issues with displaying lines in this area of the drawing. You will see two black circles that show the ends of line segments. At the zoom all display, there is no line connecting them. Zooming i...

Scaling Factors

Thorsten,
Here is an example drawing, done at 1:1 scale. There is a landscape US Letter page on layer 1023.

I'd like to print this at a scale where 1 inch in the printed page corresponds to 1 foot.

Thanks,

- Bob

[Solved] X-line - curves - seeing bezier or spline points?

Is there a straightforward way to display all the anchor points on such a curve, when wanting to adjust the anchor points? It seems like you have to click right on one of the points (such as the end), and then all the underlying anchor points appear. But when doing an adjustment, that makes the end ...

[Solved] Can an "X line" curve be used as a trimming reference?

I played at this but don't seem to be having any luck. Perhaps not feasible? If not, would be a nice addition to have.

Scaling factors!!!

I am still struggling with doing scale drawings. I want to do a drawing so that 1 inch = 1 foot. Alternatively, I can do the whole thing at 1:1. BUT then how do I get it to print at an accurate scaling of 1 inch = 1 foot. I see where you can ask for a print of the document to be shrunk to one sheet,...

[Added] More straight forward alignment tools

For aligning symbols and/or groups to each other.

And can there be a nudge option, for moving a selection using the arrow keys. Or have I overlooked this.

[Added] Easier text manipulations, resizable text boxes

Can the text sizing be done in points instead of in the amalgamation of units the way it is done currently.

And can text boxes be done as resizable items, rather than fixed at the width and length when first dragging with the tool.
