Compnents sticking together #32

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Using 3.0.6 Beta on Ubuntu 10.10.

I put four components on top of each other, then selected the top component and 
clicked Send to Back a few times and Send to Front. (I found that Send to Back 
sends the component down one component rather than to the back which I expected 
- but this is more useful, it's just that the command seems wrongly named, 
maybe "Towards Back" or "Down one Layer" would be better.)
I then tried to move my originally selected component away from the others, but 
it was stuck to them. I tried "Ungroup", but the only way I found to unstick 
them was to select a component, Edit it and rotate it 90o clockwise.

Saved file and log file attached.

I'll rename those two options.
As for sticking to each other, select the component you want to unstuck, hold 
ctrl and then drag it (this is suggested in the status bar of the app), or just 
drag one of its control points that is stuck to another components. Version 
3.0.7 will have an option to turn off sticky points.
Group/Ungroup does something else (like corel draw)
cheers

Good.
That works - sorry I didn't spot the message on the status bar. I think I have 
got into the habit of ignoring status bars because they usually seem to tell 
you lots of things you really don't need to know - obvious not true in this 
case! I didn't understand what 'control points that are stuck' are, I've tried 
doing this to the pins but that doesn't work.  An option to turn off sticky 
points would be good. I haven't found any sign of a help file, I'd be willing 
to help write something if there isn't.

There is a manual (Help -> User manual or something like that), you can find it 
here as well http://code.google.com/p/diy-layout-creator/wiki/Manual
It still lacks the information, if you are willing to contribute just join the 
project and I'll make you a developer so you can edit the wiki.

Thanks,
Bane
