rallx Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wonderful start on the program! I'm glad to see that arrowheads and dashes on strokes are planned for the near future. These are essential for technical illustration. Four requests for this: 1. That the arrow head on the stroke follows the curve. Right now, Intaglio is the only program I know that does this (haven't used them all). A picture is attached. 2. User defined shapes evenly distributed along the curve. Again, a picture attached. Think of making weather maps, for example. 3. Dedicated arc tool -- the pie shape can be used in a pinch for this but for technical illustration, the arc tool that functions like that in Intaglio or iDraw (which can have arrowheads) is extremely useful. 4. A scale object command -- Again, necessary for technical illustration. It would be useful if it were scale by percent or scale by ratio. 5. (okay, I lied -- five requests!) A select within group tool or key combination -- so one doesn't have to ungroup first to manipulate a member of a group. The program is incredibly mature and usable for a 1.0 release. Congratulations! Rallx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApplicationError Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Anything and everything to do with arrows is huge for me. This is a good request for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 A select within group tool or key combination -- so one doesn't have to ungroup first to manipulate a member of a group. Hold down cmd to select an object within a group. Or use the Layers page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted October 7, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 7, 2014 ...or just double click the object in the group to select it directly. All should work well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallx Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Cool, thanks Dave and Matt. I just found Matt's suggestion in the online help. Is there also a users manual? That can sometimes be a bit friendlier than the online help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
