Having slept on this, one solution which would avoid areas would be -outline in/out/none - works for both model and 2D -2D in/out/none - sets the outline for 2D -3D in/out/none - sets the outline for 3D
so -2D out -3D out is equivalent to -outline out Doesn't break what we have, just extends it, hopefully without over complication Andrew On 25/11/11 09:46, Bruce wrote: > This is just one symptom of a drawing package that attempts to make many > outputs from single (non-duplicate) inputs.
