I've got this message with an e-mail so I forward the reply here:
Hy Bram,
at 1) Der is an option in the settings where you can disable this checking
and warning mechanism.
at 2) Don't tell me such things please ... so many people asked for MLCad
inheriting orientation and position from previous parts ... however CTRL + D
will duplicate the selected part(s).
at 3) This is described in the ReleaseNotes.txt file which comes with the
package.
at 4) Don't know yet, will have a look at it
at 5) Same as 4 - I think 'M' currently does nothing (who wrote this program
? was it me? :-)
at 6) As mentioned in the ReleaseNotes :-) the help is a mess currently (and
I'm looking for people willing to help me)
Thanks and regards,
Michael
