Hi,

I think this must be a very simple question. However I cannot figure it out. I read the move documents:

move object [from startLoc] to pointlist

The pointList is a return-separated list of destination points. The object is moved to each point in turn during the move.

I have a set of point list, e.g. (200, 200), (250, 300), (380, 420). How can I use the list of destination points in the move syntax?

P.S. I draw a graphic (e.g. rectangle, polygon). When I use "answer the points of grc 1", it return empty. Therefore the "move grc 3 to the points of grc 1" is not working. Why? The Line graphic is always working, but not the Rectangle and Polygon.

Thanks and best regards

only the line and the irregular polygon type of graphics have points, all others don't.

A list of points is this:
so always two numbers, seperated by comma, and each on it's own line.

Hi Alex,

the docs are a bit misleading here.

It should read:
...
move XYZ from startloc to endloc
...
OR
...
move XYZ to (pointlist)
...

Where "pointlist" INCLUDES the starting point and has to be a CR separated list of coordinates as Björnke said.

So you can:
...
move btn XYZ to your_pointlist
## or ... to fld "your pointlist"
...

Hi all,

Thannnnnnnnnnnnnks It works!

I have one more question about Grid.

Sometimes this is quite difficult to use free hand to draw some shapes on the card. I noticed that the Grid feature is checked by default under the View Menu. When I turn off and turn on the Grid, nothing happens on the card. No grid lines appear on the card. I am using Windows XP. Is the Grid feature not working in Windows platform?

Thanks and best regards

Hi Alex,

you DID look up GRID in the docs, didn't you?!

Grid is only working for objects and not for drawing unfortunately.
But since the default value = 2 pixel one does not even notice it.

Set the value in the prefs to 10 or more and then drag an object slowly over your your card to "feel" the effect
