Hi Rob,

I have to use Feathers but the cable direction is opposite to the feathers listed in Symbols.
I explain, the direction of the cable is designed from the right side to the left side of the drawing.
And all Feathers symbols "from" have the connection point at the right side.
Rotation is not an option because labels are flipped.

I know that I can create custom Feathers but I would like a (SD7) native symbol to ensure compatibility with future version of SD.

Could those reversed Feathers be added in a future version ?

Thank you,

Hi Hughes,

I think you can do what you want to do today, without any change in Stardraw Design 7.3; simply use Arrange | Mirror | Horizontally to flip the feather, making it appear as direction-reversed.  You might also need to use the unlock cursor to select the Label in the Feather and in the Properties Grid change its Horizontal Alignment to "Far".

Our standard is that signals flow from left to right so it would not make sense to provide reversed feathers unless we also changed all symbols so that inputs were on the right and outputs on the left which, of course, is not something that we plan to do.

I hope this makes sense.


Kind regards,
