 Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 9:51 am Post subject: Problem with Leader Text tool |
    |
|
When I try to move a leader text object (clicking and dragging on the arrow) I find that only the text moves, but if I do the same thing again, the whole object moves. Does this happen with others or is it just me?
Also (unrelated) since updating to 7.06 (running OSX 10.5.2) I've found that when I quit PowerCADD I hear a beep. This occurs even if there's no drawing open.

How's the weather up there? I think I've got the same problem. I always used to be able to move the text separately from the arrow. But now it seems to be permanently fixed to the arrow. I've just tried to do it on a drawing just now and it worked first time then not the next. There's something strange going on.
Regards

I find if I double click on the text I can then move it independently of the arrow. I don't know if this is the intended behaviour.
I've just learned to live with the beep, though I'd like to know what it means. Usually a beep indicates some sort of error, doesn't it? |

If the leader group is unselected, and you click and drag on either the text or the leader line, both will move.
If you select the leader group, then click and drag on the selected text, only the text moves.
One bug I've found is that if you have 2 leaders in a group, and you flip that group horizontally, the text mirrors. This does not occur with Text, only with leaders. |
