Re: Zoom Options

I never saw the Select All option before, my bad. Zoom All suggestion: Under Screen Zoom there is- 50% 75% 100% etc% OK? How about: Under Screen Zoom there might be- Extents (Like AutoCad) or 'Zoom All' 50% 75% etc% Yes, like print preview but editable. Wouldn't be useful for placing trim but for ro...

Re: Zoom Options

Dale, thanks for the input. I'll keep that in mind.
When there are points (or swamps) of confusion, ask. My intention is to help make a better application, not to be a pain in the tail.

Re: Origin Location

Ohh, Ohh. Got a better idea. When working with the Building Plans, i was seized with the desire to move the origin of the Y axis to even with the bottom edge of the building plan wall. Make the Origin Location at Start Up a preference, (Upper Left or Lower Left) and then make both the X and Y origin...

Plural of Foot is Feet, not Feets. Silly. Would like a scale on the inside of the Carpenter's Square also please. The pivot feature is...

Zoom Options

In N scale I'd like a Zoom All option. I would like to not only see, but to be able to manipulate objects on the entire drawing area at once. How bout a select all or select window? Yeah, select window is likely a bit much. That's a lot of coding. Select all would be real nice. Michael the Crank

Changing wall (field) sizes using direct input

New issue, well, old issue. I thought that one might fix the other. I like to define the wall section size directly using the Material Dimensions Window. I start at 100% zoom. I define a brick wall or "field" as 60' wide and 40' high. This is larger than the View Window. I place a window. I copy it ...
