Thanks Callum and Old Bruce. I don't have a new enough system for hardware acceleration and changing to nearest neighbor had no effect. It isn't a BIG deal, just annoying.

I have this drawing that I am as a background and it is set to 30% opacity. I have another drawing on top of that layer. When I view at different zoom levels there is an area in the lower area that seems to be less opaque and the area changes. Note the area under truck and just behind the cab, in a square, is darker. At a different zoom the area changes to the area of the frame above the bed of the truck. At any zoom level if I uncheck the truck layer the dark area disappears. If I export to jpg it doesn't show up. If I print directly from the afdesign file it does.

They're in there.

Made some changes, learned a lot about adding highlights and shadows.

Thanks everyone, all good points, I'll work with them and see what turns out.

I've been working on this and it's almost finished but, it just doesn't look right. Iit just doesn't look right under the bus. I tried adding the tailpipe and license plate, it looks like something needs to be under there. On the right is the picture as I took it, you cant see anything under there. Probably not the final background, I just needed to put something there because you can see through the windows. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the replies, I always seem to want things that I can't have. 😁 It isn't really a problem except for my own ocd. Those selection boxes being not square make the combined group bigger that it actually is.

Not sure how to ask the question. Tried searching but didn't know what to search for. Is there a way to reset an objects rotation to 0 without turning it? Meaning I have rotated the object and I now want it's new orientation to be 0.

Alfred, can be either one. Depends on planet alignment, weather, time of day, karma, fate, temperature, Voo Doo, witchcraft, etc. Best times are when you are in the middle nowhere, just you and the dog and the livestock. Worst times can be at a demo or field trial with lots of spectators. 😎

I've been using designer for some time to draw detailed wiring diagrams and draw designs for my CNC router. I've recently tried my hand at some art work. These are all vector

Is there any way to convert an svg to a gerber (gpr) file?

I haven't played with it for a while and I can't find my original post. I'll see if I can reproduce it but, since spring is here I don't have much computer time available. Here's a work in progress that has links like I am talking about. If you export to PDF and click ignore and continue the resulting PDF works as required. If you click fix and continue the page numbers still work but the written links are removed. That means you have to manually link everything and never update links. If you add a page there is no way to update the TOC without loosing all of your work. NewManualDemo.afpub

I have gotten it to do it but, the only way I have gotten it to work is to make every line in the TOC the link. If you update the links or when you export to pdf and check the box that says to update the TOC it all goes away. I posted as a bug many months ago but, no change. Each time a new version comes out I check to see if it has been done.

This is still a problem in 257

fde 101 beat me to it. Another way to position things. Select something you want to position relative to. Then select what you want to position, as you drag it around you will see green lines showing what things are aligned to. In the case of text you get left edge of box left edge of text in that box center of box right edge of box This works for pretty much anything. Horizontal lines will show as a red line
