Well, once again I've hit my limit.... I use a custom form for LPub's main form. I also use a simple custom form for the Cancel window that contains two buttons. When LPub is processing something that takes a long time, it does CanceForm->Show(). (...) (19 years ago, 1-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hmmm, draw the edge twice and flip the stencil bit eh? It sounds like it could work. I'll have to read up on edge flags. I haven't used them for anything yet. By the way, you should be able to get all the info you need from the type 5 line itself, (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
