Is there a way of restricting the graphics drawing so it can only draw in the region defined by a field?

Hi Doug,
Sorry to disappoint you, but there is currently no way of restricting the graphic to a certain region on the card. I believe an enhancement request has been made along the lines of set the tool of group x to "graphic" But no idea how soon that will be implemented.
The only way to accomplish that I can see right now, is by emulating the tools yourself, under the browse tool. But this can get very complicated because you'll have to handle _everything_ by script : - starting to track on mouseDown - resize dynamically on mouseMove - tweak on mouseUp / mouseRelease And then there's the fun of emulating the pointer tool to produce a 'marquee' while dragging as you hold down the mouse.
If I were you, I'd wait for the feature to be implemented.
Jan Schenkel.
In OS X you can kind of do this.
Make the drawing place the main stack and open the substack
containing the field as drawer. In this way the drawing tools are restricted
to the main stack.
May be there is a possibility to mimic this behaviour for the other platforms.
