Resizing Excludes?

boleyd · Post by **boleyd** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 2:54 am

I cannot find how to resize Excludes. I have used both the pointer tool and the Exc tool. I would expect selecting a corner would allow you to resize an exclude rectangle. However, with either tool, I can only move the rectangle. I cannot change its size..???

Version 2.04

Hi,

Use Exc Tool and try to pick the NW or SE corner. Drag. Terminate with a left click and the new size will stay.

Regards, Luis

Using the Exc tool if I click in the NW corner another exclude box appears in the top left. In the SW corner I can only drag, not resize with the Exc tool. I tried the Exclude in 2.02 and it worked ok. Using v2.04

Hi Dick,

Yes, I confirm! It is very strange as the exact same version of SB works OK on my laptop and as you describe in the desktop!

I will research this later tonight!

Hi Dick,

It is the option "Show Labels = ON" that causes the problem. I still do not know why but I noticed it after compairing the INI files of both computers (laptop and desktop). Please set Labels to OFF while you work with the Exclude tool! As soon as I discover the problem I will upload a new version (now with support for a Pen and digitizing tablet).

Note: test Exclude with care, as it has never have been tested fully. It may be the case that SBuilder changes the type of item to exclude. If you note something strange, please inform me.

Regards, Luis

I did not have ShowLabels in my INI. I placed it as shown below at end of [Main]. Did not fix the problem. I also made it as Show Labels=OFF (two words) but same result. Version 2.03 works ok.

Hello Dick,

I am surprised that the version you have does not yet support the Label function. I will update SBuilder later today. Labels ON/OFF are
set through the Preferences menu and you do not need to edit the INI file. But may be I have add that feature after uploading version 2.04. Basiocally it shows the name of the line or the name of the polygon as you pass the mouse over those items.

I have edited you previous post! The password was listed in the INI file! May be I need to code that part in a different way.

Regards, Luis
