After measure angle, I want to do a rotation using the value measured.
In message centre, it says:
Angle = 3.927 followed by a lttle circle which is not an ascii character.
When I try to copy the angle value, it will not highlight - instead the whole line highlights.
So the high lighted text is
"Angle = 3.927~" where ~ represents the little circle which is not an ascii character.
In the rotate tool, when I paste the highlighted text, it does not recognise it because of
the junk characters, and it resets the rotate angle to zero.
So I have to edit it, to remove the junk characters.
Required behaviour is that a double click in the message bar line, on the angle value,
will select the value.
Double click to select a word is a GUI standard.
Can powerdraft be made to edit properly in Message Centre?
thanks
Andrew; thanks; uStn PowerDraft v8i (selectseries 3) ver 08.11.09.397
double click to select word, or any editing at all, in message centre line
btw adobe print also ignores double click, in its ' single click dropdown'
and microsoft defies the convention of side arrow on selection taking
you back to lhs of highlighted text. its a habit of people to think, it
seems, they are v special and dont need to uphold 30 year old GUI
conventions. power is known by the rules you break.
Jon; many thanks. A whole nother 128 there I dont see.
Can you select the value from the Tool Settings dialog? That's where I usually copy mine from.
