Wishlist: Add points to poygon by Ctrl

Post by bmt84 »

Hi,
I'd like a function where it is possible to add points to a line or a polygon by (for example) push Ctrl+click on line in stead of clicking right and add point

Greetz,
Bjørn

Hello Bjørn,

I am afraid that there's no such way currently, so I will bring this up for discussion on our next meeting. In the mean time - you will need to right click on the shape and select the "Add a point" from the context menu.

Regards,
Stefan

+1 for this request, since this is standard behavior in many drawing programs (knowing that PDF-XChange Editor is not a drawing program by definition :)

Hi Tracker Software Support,

Also adding a +1 for this.

If I get a petition signed and submitted would that carry more weight so that we can get this going?

I have 20+ people I work with who use the software to take measurements for PDF drawings who would all benefit (and be eternally grateful) if this feature was introduced.

Cheers,

Sam.

... and maybe CTRL-clicking on an existing polygon point could be made a shortcut to deleting that point.

Hi,

Also adding a +1 for this.
That could help me very much, because adding a point via the right click is not seriously a good way to work !!

Best regards

Hello Gerard,

The ticket has been opened, and a developer assigned to this, but I am afraid that there aren't any significant news in that ticket yet. When it is implemented - we will post a note here, but for now - it is still in development.

Kind regards,
Stefan
