bruce johansen Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 try this, make a straight horizontale line.go to the oip and resize the length. press enter to make it so. now try nudging the line or zooming the worksheet. NO GO ! is that normal behavior.to be able to nudge or zoom , you have to select the select tool and reselect the line, or if you did not hit enter, yu have to select the select tool, select the line , now it becomes the resized you wanted to see and it can be nudged .... to me it would be logical that when i choose an object and modify its attributes, that object is still available to me to continue doing what i need to do with it and not have to reselect it. or did i miss something in the book again?

Guest Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 If you hit enter, that will still leave you in the OIP. You have to click out of the OIP to make the drawing the active dialog. You can use the ESC key to escape out of the OIP. THen you can go right into the nudge feature without re-selecting the object. The esc. cancles out of the active window, which is the OIP, and places you in the drawing window. Quote Link to comment
bruce johansen Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 thank you for clearing the confusion i had. i guest it comes from the fact that in other programs,when i change something in a PALETTE and confirm that change, i default back to the workspace. as in vw spot when i go to the oip or the resource palette for that matter i am not in the workspace anymore. there being no visuel clue to the fact that i am not in the workspace, which by the way would be nice, i assume incorrectly that it was as elsewhere. thank you for your time Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 In VW, when you key the enter key, it will send you to the next dialog box below it when necessary. However, when using the top of the OIP such as the delta x and y and reg x and y, enter just enters the information and leaves you in that dialog entry box. Also, when you hit enter, the box should highlight letting you know you are still in the OIP. Is it not highlighting? [ 03-18-2003, 10:41 AM: Message edited by: Katie ] Quote Link to comment
bruce johansen Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 thank you .now i understand the logic of it. and yes it does highlight. being first a visuel person, my focus is always on the drawing ie workspace. i assumed incorrectly that i was still in it. - since there was no visuel cue to the fact that i was not in the workspace, it always looks the same anyway - even if there is a visuel cue to the fact that i'm in a palette Quote Link to comment
