Hi Wolfgang & Jean Wolfgang: thanks for that, quite correct, well spotted :=)))))
Jean: I agree a hint would be good. The German text reads: Unter Linux müssen Sie dazu gleichzeitig noch Strg-Taste gedrückt halten, dabei rastet jedoch der Kreis am Raster ein (siehe nächster Punkt). Um das wieder AUSzuschalten, müssen Sie vorher die Option „am Raster fangen“ EINschalten (eine Art Wechselschalter). I suggest as a translation, to be inserted on p5 of 0402DG, after the text: <snip> Hold down the Alt key (together with the Shift key) to draw a symmetrical ellipse (a circle) with the center point as the starting point. </snip> "Under Linux it is necessary to hold down both the Alt and Control keys at the same time to achieve the above result. If "Snap to grid" is not enabled, this will have the effect of turning it on (in addition to drawing a circle with the center point as the starting point). To disable the snap, turn it on before drawing the circle, View > Grid > Snap to Grid. By enabling it in the view menu and activating it with the Ctrl key you actually disable the snap feature." regards Martin On Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:55:43 +0100 "Wolfgang Uhlig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Martin, Jean, > > There is something that has to be added to the Draw Guide in chapter 2. > The shortcut Alt+pressed left mousekey in order to draw a circle from > its middle, does not function under Linux.
