Re: Feature Mirroring Line out of Order [solved]
Hello Daniel, I think I have not made my point clear. I had not noticed that these grafik.png tools have been disabled. I was talking about this one: grafik(1).png . This doesn't have any effect any more. And using the "rotate 180°" tool is a dubous workaround. And your suggestion of grabb...

Re: Hints for German translation
Hello, one more translation hint. While deleting measurement presets that I don't nee i realized that some have a name that doesn't make sense: grafik.png The word "Inhalt" means "content" and doesn't make sense. It should be something like "Innenmaß" ("inner measu...

Re: Scaling: Activate via keyboard; edit order
Sorry, forget my last question, I should have spent a bit more time to explore the mechanics of the toolbar button texts. I found out: IF there is a text entry in the "Title" field in the Command Properties, this is what is displayed. And the title is what I enter as a name in the Comment ...

Re: Scaling: Activate via keyboard; edit order
Wow, I hadn't noticed that my self-created styles appear in the list of commands that I can place in the toolbars. That's great! A slight shortcoming is that the buttons look all the same and I don't want to turn on text in toolbars because it takes too much space. Btw, I tried this and realized tha...

Re: Scaling: Activate via keyboard; edit order
Thank you for the hint. What I meant what might open automatically was not the scale drop-down menu that already exists. My first wish was to have the possibility to have designated toolbar buttons for different scales. And the you could arrange all or some of them into one toolbar. This might be a ...

Re: placing a solid colour field behind distance tool
This is really a pity! I didn't know that measurements are a feature that is part of the pdf specification. I thought these measurement lines were something you had made up yourselves.

"Is there a way to set this measurement as the default either for one document or for all documents?" the OP wrote. Good point! Currently, the default is set for all documents. When I have two documents (plans) open at the same time and I have to measure in both of them, I have to change s...

Re: Scaling: Activate via keyboard; edit order
+1! This sounds good, I have been wishing this feature, too.
One more suggestion: I would like to be able to put toolbar buttons in my toolbar to select the scale with one click. And/or: Have a scale toolbar open automatically when selecting the measure tool.
Best regards
Joachim
