On April the first a new LeoCad version has been released: 0.75 In this version the mysterious disappearance of some pieces as discussed below has been solved!

(...) Yeah, the new rotation system....I need some time getting used to that. For example: when you select the rotation button a circle appears to define the rotation point. BUT the rotation button only works when the mouse pointer is actually (...) (18 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

(...) The rotation circles make it easier to rotate the direction you want to rotate, and I think it's more intuitive too. That's how professional software like Max and Maya work (I followed the Max way of rotating and added some extra functionality (...) (18 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

Hi, is it right that the arrow keys work in an other way now? If I rotate a part more than 45° using the shift + pageup/pagedown key, the arrow keys work 90° shifted. So if I have used some parts in different directions the arrow keys always work in (...) (18 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

No that's not always true. In order to have the arrow keys always work in the same directions follow this procedure: go to View -> Preferences -> tab 'Drawing Aids' and check the 'Fixed direction keys' option Succes, Robert (...) (18 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

Hi, thanx for the advice, but the arrows then work very strange. Can I choose _how_ they should work? That way the keys in former versions worked (and I am used to use them) is much more logically. Regards Ronald (...) (18 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

Hmm, for me that trick worked. When I check the 'fixed direction keys' option everything works exactly like in the previous versions of Leocad. Sorry, I have no idea what to do now. (18 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.cad.leocad)
