Jean, as you might imagine, that was one of the first things I tested. And I've just opened a couple of RXP files to try again, both of which work OK for me. I use the Item Select button all the time and don't have any trouble with selecting a particular dot with the Item Select button. I'm wondering if you'd email me (privately, of course) a file which is causing you this problem so that I can have a look at it and see if I can work out why you're having difficulties.
Yes, I miss the right-click to delete a dot. However, the right-click is now taken up with editing functions to save playing "hunt the button" on toolbars all around the screen. It wasn't possible to do both, although you can select a dot (or a line or whatever) and then right-click on the screen, then left-click on Delete. Someone mentioned the missing File Preview - the old system was only possible because of the way RXP saved all files inside the RXP folder - which is not a particularly popular place to save files with lots of people. The new programme has a different filing system, and all patterns are now saved in a special folder created on installation within the My Documents folder. We haven't had much success yet at making a file preview system compatible with the new filing system. Windows 7 offers the preview, but only for programmes the Windows programmers know about - and Lace8 is not on their list.

If I want to delete a dot, I can't do it by right clicking and I can't mark it with "select item". I have to use "Group select" and then it will mark it. Same thing happens with other items from a Lace R-XP designs. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
