Hi Rowland,the ellipse tool is currently a special element (an xline with 4 points which is filled with the ellipse).Support for working like the other tools will require a complete new implementation of that element.Currently the complete reprogramming of the interface has priority. We have to rewrite the complete GUI in cocoa for the new features like fullscreen, 64 bit etc. That will take around one year. Thorsten On 02.05.2013, at 11:13, Rowland Carson <rowlandcarson@gmail.com> wrote:  On 1 May 2013, at 19:50, Thorsten Lemke wrote:> The copy to layer function is on the todo list.

Ah, so it's not a 'location' you are specifying, but an 'offset'. Now it makes sense and I can see why entering 0,0 produced the exact result I was after.Some additional explanation in the manual would greatly help others in understanding this.Thanks.On 2 May 2013, at 09:45, Thorsten Lemke <lemke@lemkesoft.de> wrote: you define the offset of the insertion from the original coordinates.ThorstenOn 02.05.2013, at 10:36, Ken Gillett <ukengb@ymail.com> wrote:I realise that, but what precisely does it mean?
