|
|
Having loaded MLCad I can't select transparent colours like I used to on V1.5. Any suggestions as to what I've done. (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I too was just playing around and realized you can't "snap" any angle besides 3-D. Am I too missing something?? Brett (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Nah. The only VB concern is if outgoing messages will be translated down to single-byte codes from the VB default double-byte. But if it doesn't happen automatically, the data can be filtered through a byte array first. Steve (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
