I agree with you completely! I wish we could just use bit maps for the pattern pieces. We can always wish. I would like to have the ability to use elipses too. I think that would really make a big difference. Never know, it could happen! Regards, (...) (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
