Hi Jean, others working on DG3?
Chapter 3 updated and uploaded.
One question:
there is a small entry on the "function" of the select key.
It stated:
The Select button on the Drawing toolbar functions as a switch. It works
as follows. If you have two points linked together by a straight line (you
do not need to have a curve between the points) and you insert a new point
between them that is set at an angle to the initial straight line (and
hence the two endpoints), then: If the Select button is active, you will
have a drawing similar to that illustrated in ➊. If the Select button is
not active, and you move the point you have just inserted to bring it back
close to its initial position in the straight line, you will have a
drawing similar to that illustrated in ➋.
I do not see any similar paragraphs in the German Draw Guide.
I cannot get this to work in any recent version of OOo/LibO. It seems to
have already been in existence in the Draw Guide for v2.0, perhaps it used
to work but does no longer function as described.
Can anyone confirm or otherwise?
If you are in point editing mode the Select button is always "down".
That is correct, because an object is selected. If you have selected one
or more points in editing mode, then a click of the Select button will
unselect the points, but the button is still in "down" mode. So you can
unselect the points with the mouse and not only with the Esc-key.
Kind regards
Regina
