I've been working a lot on 4.0.0.2. One of the changes I've made is to replace the callout pointers (the triangles), with arrows. The arrow color is the same as the callout border. You will have choices on arrowhead dimensions and shaft thickness. (...) (16 years ago, 18-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Try printing the PDF to a PDF and then printing that. It seems to me that the HP printer may be messing up its postscript (or related system) so this may fix that issue. Tim (16 years ago, 18-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

While doing renderings, I've noticed something odd. POV-Ray mirrors all the models across the XY axis. For instance, look at this image of (URL) 853>. It appears to be right hand drive, but the model I made it from is left hand drive. This isn't (...) (16 years ago, 17-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
