Maybe not a flaw, but something which drives me absolutely crackers! I like to draw the edges of baseboards as templates displayed as centre lines only. This means they can be manipulated within groups of other templates which I find useful. The problem is, as I skip through the Storage Box, a dialogue box keeps appearing telling me that "There is no data for this template...." I can't see how this can be true since there is both a peg and a length though of course there are no rails.Worse, this particular nag does not have a please leave me alone tick box and can find no way of turning it off. I can understand that this information might be useful if the template does have a zero length, but these clearly do not! I am hoping (nay expecting!) that I am about to be told a really easy workaround!!! Best Wishes, Howard. |

Hi Howard, This is a bug of sorts, although I've known about it for years. Thanks for the nudge to do something about it. This happens only for centre-line-only templates which are exactly square to the grid, horizontal or vertical. As a workaround you can prevent it happening by shifting one end sideways by 0.01mm, which will have negligible effect on the edge of a baseboard. Try using geometry > shift/rotate > rotate template by... and entering say 0.001 degrees. Or you could use CTRL+F10 to bulge the centre sideways by 0.01mm, leaving the ends unchanged. I will get this properly fixed.  regards, Martin. |

Many thanks Martin. This does explain why I have not fallen over it previously - the last project did not have "square" baseboards. Best wishes, Howard. |
