Stephen,

I've struggled with and successfully used Geometry Manager and agree with you that the UI is very inviting.

There are two tricks I've found for making it work better.
1. If in doubt click "Remove All" at the Geometry UI setting and reset it. 2. If you are using it in comparison with another object, rather than the card dimensions, make sure the object is a low level object. I've found that you will get strange results this isn't done.

I sure wish Rev would fix the Geometry Manager. It is a stumbling block for most new users.

Ok I've been a Rev user since 2001, and many times I've tried to use the geometry manager and it will work for a while, then BLAM, add or change something (like add a new card) , then everything to the right gets wider -
a major mess. This happens sooner or later on EVERY stack I try to use
geometry.

Once in a while someone will mention rev geometry on this list, and the pundits will invariably say... "Geometry -- no big deal, just do it yourself
- it's easy. Don't use Rev geometry. "

But the Rev interface has such an intuitive interface to RevGeometry, I really want to use it. If it's broken, how is it used? If it's in there, why
can't I just use it?

Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? Really, it was working quite well for many days... now I can't change anything on the stack without this thing falling apart. I didn't change the size of anything, just tried
to add a new card.

If I have to go "commando" with geometry, does anyone have a guide?

thanks
