I've solved the problem I had with selecting items in Lace8 for designs done
in Lace R-XP.
Don't know what was going on with not selecting the dots, but that's all OK
now and they're being selected each time I ask. The problem with other items
was because the squares that show an item has been selected aren't all the
same size for all drawing tools in this new version.
Because of they're smaller size than before for a straight gimp, when I
tried selecting a straight gimp, the selecting squares (black) were hidden
by the dots (black). Same with curved gimp. The solution was to change the
colour of the dots to a lighter shade than back so I can see them. Select
all the dots - choose dot drawing tool, right click anywhere in the design
window and Select all Current Type, right click in the design area and
Select all Current Type again and change the colour of the dots to something
lighter than black. I either change the colour of the background dots, or
switch them off.
I found the one drawing tool with the biggest problem was the tally - the
selecting square outlined the tally symbol exactly, so if the tally was dark
it didn't look as if it had been selected.
Hope this helps others with similar problems.
