Here are the two aspects of Stardraw that make it a real pain to use- can these changes be implemented?

A snap marker (like AutoCads) which shows where along the line we are snapping to, and whilst when skewing a ready- drawn line snaps ok (but it is iffy),a new lines origin still does not snap to another reign under the mouse- and 'I' get very odd results.  Can we have end points and midpoints etc flagging up as the mouse moves over them?  And can lines snap to these points properly?

The next grumble is printing.  When clicking 'Set Print Area' can we have a sub menu offering paper sizes (& a custom) so when we click and drag the papers aspect ratio is locked?  As it is its a real time waster with lots of messing about

If anyone has any work-arounds or tips I'd appreciate it, or maybe lend some support to get the changes done?

Cheers!

Hi Eric,

It sounds like you're using symbols in the wrong environment.  If you're creating a Block Schematic document, use symbols from the Blocks root in the Library List (and if you're using symbols from the Blocks root, make sure it's a document based on the Block Schematic template).  Also ensure that you have not turned off the Snap to Grid modifier.  If you are using Stardraw A/V correctly then every I/O stub on every symbol in every Block Schematic drawing should align to the grid.

If you are having problems please feel free to email one of your drawings to techsupport @ stardraw.com and we will be happy to tell you where you're going wrong. 

As a new user you may find it helpful to work through the tutorials in the Help system.  With questions on general usage, please feel free to continue to post to the forums or email techsupport @ stardraw.com directly.

Kind regards
