Suggestions x 5


Hi - thanks for a great programme - it's really helping me with my layout revamp.

Having used it for a few weeks I have some suggestions...

1) Assign the zoom function to the mouse wheel, like photoshop...very fast and intuitive
2) give the polygon and other shapes the ability to be transparent to variable degrees
3) let the 'connect with flextrack' function remember the last choice rather than having to scroll through the list each time (also the shortcut for this doesn't work on my intel mac)
4) allow the flextrack to be bent to a specific radius
5) please provide a tool to rotate elements freely, rather than having to enter the angle each time

many thanks, Clive

Thanks for the input, all points will be considered!

This already works in 3.1 if you edit a flextrack and choose "Bend to Curve" in the dialog.

It would be very useful if the bend to curve option remembered the radius and angle of a piece of curved flextrack. I sometimes need to adjust the radius of a curve and choosing the bend to curve option defaults to a very high radius.

Suggestion #5 definitely gets my support. The current method is cumbersome.

Thanks - acknowledged and adjusted the priority of to-dos!

BTW, the remember radius/angle of curved flextrack issue is also high up in the to-do list and one of the first things to be tackled after v4 (elevations/heights and layers).
