There is a ROUNDUP worksheet function you could try. I haven't tried it in the Space finishes, and this is not really my specialism, however, if you use the Worksheet section of the data tag, you can use the ROUNDUP function with a rounding index of 0, and you should get what you need.

Got stumped on this model, anyone have a method?

Isn't that the purpose of these forums? By your reckoning, the forum database must have millions of dollars worth of tutorials and advice! This forum community is about the best that I have engaged with. With forums of this nature, users want to share their knowledge and, by and large, don't really care where it ends up so long as the information is teaching others. I enjoy answering users' questions, and I derive great satisfaction when the answer I give is what the forum member is looking for. I also benefit as I continue to refine what I already know. I often try out user's questions because I am not immediately certain of what approach would suit me best. In my example above, the solution I arrived at gave me the solution that appealed to me the most. I find the search facility often brings up what I need. So, yes, in a nutshell, this is a priceless resource! -
@line-weight I think this is a better way to do it, as the insertion point of the markers remains in the Centre. Probably need to create a separate symbol for the 2nd end, then just store the whole setup as a plug-in style. Now, all you have to do is remember why you made the plug-in style in the first place!!

@line-weightI updated the post with a partial solution....

The gap is measured from the insertion points of both marker graphics. You could try moving the insertion points of the Marker Layouts, but that will doubtless have a knock-on effect when in a rotated position, as you see above. If you do decide to do this, then you will need to abandon the separator line. You will also need to make sure that all the text geometry is set to as below. The upshot to all of this is this result. Here is the file. Custom Section Marker.vwx

This is a good project for the Subdivision tool, especially if you are just starting out with it. -

3Dconnexion SpaceMouse - Reversed Axes, Roll Left/Right
markdd replied to Mark Aceto's question in Troubleshooting
Well. I updated my mac in October and reinstalled everything "as new". So there may be another firmware update since then. One thing that has caused problems is the 3D connexion wireless usb puck. That often needs to be rebooted (pulled in and out of it's socket). After that, all works well. If you are wireless, then how about giving that a try before doing anything else? -
3Dconnexion SpaceMouse - Reversed Axes, Roll Left/Right
markdd replied to Mark Aceto's question in Troubleshooting
Currently, I have a perfectly working Space Mouse. But only after uninstalling and re-installing the latest firmware. Here is what I have...... Otherwise, all settings are the defaults, and everything works well. -
You can't do it with shadows, but depending on the shape, you can do something like this with gradients....... I have included the file. Inner shadow.vwx

Not really, but you can import specific Design Layers and their contents into other files. This is possible using the New Design Layer dialog and selecting the Import Design Layers Option. You need to make sure that you have Import Layer Objects selected. The Layers also need to be named differently from what you already have in the current file.

The Zoom Line Thickness button shows you what the lines in your file will look like when printed. It is not a switch to turn off the thicknesses when printing. If you are printing at a scale where your line thicknesses look too fat, then you can scale the thicknesses down in the Advanced properties of the viewport. My advice before printing is to zoom the sheet to 100%. This will show you what the printed output will look like. Then you should be able to print with more predictable results.

Why not add Selection State - Is Selected to the search criteria?
