Bad news - I've just installed Livecode version 7.0 (rc2) and the clipboard is as dead in this version as it is was in the last stable release. I didn't try 6.7 (rc2). I figured if the bug showed up in 6.6 and was fixed in 6.7 that it wouldn't resurface in 7.0. Am I wrong? On 10/19/2014

Snapping To A Grid of TopLefts?

2014-10-19 Thread JOHN PATTEN
Hi All, I’m trying to figure out a way to have objects snap to a grid on the mouseUp. I have a list of TopLeft coordinates. 500,50 500,125 500,200 500,275 400,50 400,125 … I want the object to snap to the closest topLeft coordinate in the list upon a mouseUp. I was tried subtracting current x

Hi John, I use this handler to snap to a grid, there may well be clearer / more efficient implementations though. constant kHDist = 100 // horizontal distance between points constant kVDist = 75 // vertical distance between points on locToSnap @xLeft, @xTop local tTopOver, tLeftOver put

This will snap to a 100 X 75 grid anywhere on the card. It does not restrict the bounds i.e. left from 50 to 275, but that could be added. on mouseUp put the top of me into tTop put the left of me into tLeft put round(tTop / 75) * 75 into tNewTop put round(tLeft /100) * 100 into

Thanks, Richard. Good advice. I do make numerous backups during the day, and regularly to backup discs. And I hadn’t noticed I could “save As..” to oleo versions, so that’s comforting. Mostly I’m using the standard features. The best improvement was made when they did some work on the snapshot
