trouble entering polygonal lines coordinates
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 12:24 am
Hey,
I'm trying to do a drawing where the rectangle tool is so badly missing...I want to create a set of standard boxes which I'll use in my drawing as there are many of the same in it.
The mouse is not accurate enough and editing lines is not easy enough as one cannot work on the actual x,y values for a given dot.
But I cannot find the proper way to enter polygonal lines coordinates in the input line:
I've tried typing these (apple wireless french keyboard)
x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3 then return or enter and nothing
sets of x,y values within brackets didn't work either
x1,y1 tab x2,y2 tab x3,y3 then return or enter and nothing
x1,y1 ; x2,y2 ; x3,y3 then return or enter and nothing
and so on...
When entering a two points defined line everything's fine and I didn't find in the user's guide any example of this polygonal line input ?
Thanks for help...
