grid & cross-hair

Post by Beagle »

I
Coming from Vectorworks to HD, I was missing some usefull options.

What I like to see in a next update
1)is a snap to grid when drawing lines. and a second option to display a grid
pe.
snap to grid = 0,5 mm. on X and 0,5 mm. on Y
But Display grid at 5mm.

2) A long cross-hair instead of the small-one used now. or a user chooice between both.

Hi Beagle

snap to grid is already available under the snaps menu on the left top horizontal toolbar... just above and to the right of the arrow tool in the vertical toolbar...

the long cross hairs I thought were in the prefs somewhere but I can not seem to find them... sure they were there...!!!

cheers
Trevor

Yers I kinow that there is a snap to grid.

I make very fine small tools. So I had to draw on very small lines, from 0,5 mm. on. I was used to a snap to grid on 0,5 mm. in vectorworks. Every line I draw was than alligned to the grid.
No way to draw a line pe. 7.8 mm. long, it was always or 8mm. or 7.5 mm. That is what I mean by snap to grid.
Bit the visible grid on the screen was only every 5 mm.

I have looked and looked, but no way to find your setting to a long cros-hair.

HD. 1.5
