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

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...

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.

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.
