Because nobody has gotten around to coding up the ability. What it will require is for someone to code up a way to turn a CAD object into a multiline object. There is a currently-unused routine that can take a list of lat/lon pairs and generate the multiline string and a point at the center (average lat/lon), and it could be used for that. But someone will need to do the GUI work to allow specification of which CAD object to send out this way, and assemble an object to go out over the air. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
