Ah, finally, I have to check the box ?Edit contour marks? and then use the ?Enlarge the size ot the path?-button. ... or (a bit cumbersome) drag the blue lines manually (eventually with the spin box) and edit each four of the corner points. But I still dont get it why does boxes I *wanted* to use are grey ... What are they for, and when can I use them? > Best regards > Axel Bojer
