pauldev Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm very pleased to see the ability to set the ruler origin included in v1.7 for Mac. However, I'm having some issues. It works OK if I leave my zoom at the same size as when I open the file, but if I open a file and then zoom in close to set the ruler origin more accurately, it doesn't work. Any thoughts?

catlover Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Works fine here, both with AfPhoto & Afdes, latest Betas, on Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldev Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 So just to clarify, catlover, you can zoom in and then still relocate the ruler origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long answer is that there are some tools I cannot use to change the rulers' origin, eyedropper, corner and a few others. the move tool yes, the various shape tools yes, pen tool yes. Old files,, new files zoomed and sometimes even zoomed and rotated. All fine. Snaps to objects too.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldev Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Ok. It's me being stupid! I'd left the tool as the zoom tool and was trying to set the ruler origin with that. Switching to the move tool solved the problem. Apologies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted March 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi Pauldev, Glad you got it sorted. I'll check with development with regards to those tools not allowing you change the Ruler Origin. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the corner of the 2 rules, the origin, which enables the action, not any specific tool...
