Cadintosh suggestions
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2015 8:53 pm
Thorsten,
Thank you for Cadintosh and Graphic Converter. Both have been very helpful. I have had several thoughts regarding features in Cadintosh, some of which may be practical, others not.
Tiffs and jpegs:
It would be very helpful to be able to move, scale, and rotate images like any other element.
Ellipses:
It would be helpful if ellipses could be modified the same as other elements. I would especially like to use the ellipse as a cutting edge and to be able to trim the ellipse.
Lines:
Might the parallel line and parallel line tangent to a curve be combined by using the shift key or option key as a modifier to toggle between commands. I often switch between modes, and this would save many keystrokes.
Modification commands:
Sometimes I want to move a small element a large distance. It is awkward to zoom in to click on the original point, zoom out to navigate to the new point, zoom in to click, then double zoom again to select the object. Could the object be selected first, with or without a modifier key toggle?
Basic Apple Commands:
Simple cut, paste, and copy functions would be helpful. especially as a means to transfer objects from layer to layer or between documents. Paste-in-place would be helpful as well.
A modifier key toggle between Freehand Mode, Intersection Mode, and Middle/End Mode would speed things up.
Either a window selection or paint bucket selection for hatching would be nice.
Thanks, again,
Roy Lewis
