I can see that my Alt+0149 and Alt+0183 doesn't look right so maybe that
make it even harder to understand what I am looking for.
Alt+0149 is a fat multiplication dot
Alt+0183 is a thin multiplication dot (sorry for bad English if that's the
case...)

Yes, I follow so far...
Great... =)
Standard setting:

New setting:

Center point selected
Pressing Enter and hoping that things change.
So you have simply selected a different base point, to which the
Position X
and Y values in the fields to the left of the diagram apply. You have not
said that you have actually changed any X or Y values. What exactly are
you
expecting to change?
I didn't change X and Y values, at least not yet. All I want to happen is
that Draw will remember that I selected another base point than the preset
one. Since the X and Y values are the same as before, I think that the
object mybe should move a bit too... but the reason to select the center
point is that I want the center point, rather than the upper left point,
of the object to snap to the grid.
Pressing F4 again to verify that things are OK, but they aren't.
My new setting has immediately been replaced by the standard setting.
Are you saying you expected the position of your object to change? Or do
you
simply want the "Position and Size" dialog to remember which base point
you
have previously selected?
I think both would happen if this worked correctly, as I see it. X anf Y
should now refer to the center point instead of the upper left point,
which indeed should change the position of the object a bit. And of course
Draw should remember my setting, why would I otherwise change it? It's not
THAT fun to click on stuff... =)
How can I make Draw to remember what I told it to do just one second
ago..?
If you mean remembering the base point you just selected, then OOo 2.0.3
does not remember either. Might be worth an enhancement request, if
there is
not already one there. In my use, it would be more convenient if the
center
point was selected.
Yes, I might consider that. I mean, what's the point to be able to change
the base point if Draw doesn't care anyway? The function should either be
removed or work properly, don't you think?
But the funny thing is that I think that I actually got this to work some
time ago, I can't just remember how I did it...
