Hi Martin

I have produced a rectangle in sketchboard which I now wish to delete, unfortunately when I push the delete button nothing is happening, except to de-select it.



Is this my fault or a flaw?38_150941_220000000.png38_150941_220000000.png

Cheers Phil

PS. The promised metric calculator menu in options appears to have failed, I refer to message message ref: 12057

Hi Phil,

Have you inadvertently ticked the no delete option? Select the item and then click the modify item tab:

I'm not sure what you mean by the calculator menu item having failed? I can see the calculator in your screenshot. The menu item is at options > metric/scale calculator (CTRL+L).

Does the delete work if you close the calculator first?

regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin

I must have inadvertently ticked the box although I can't remember doing it.

As for the calculator I got it up as per the instructions which you gave me in this thread

topic 1845

The calculator is only a minor inconvenience.
Cheers Phil

You have rather lost me Phil. What is it about the calculator which is or isn't working?

It should show in front of the sketchboard (or hide) when you click the menu item:

It seems to be working fine. :?

Hi Martin

My apologies, I have not used the Sketchboard since that original request and when I had the Sketchboard Control Panel open I looked for the calculator there rather than the options menu on Sketchboard itself, must be getting old and senile or at the very least rusty.

sorry again.:roll:

Phil

Hi Phil,

My apologies too. I have only just twigged that the word "options" is used both on the menus and on the control panel tabs. I have now changed the latter to "settings" to avoid confusion:

This is where not having yet written the Help notes for the sketchboard is such an advantage. If I had done so, I would now have to go through them and make numerous edits, and remake all the screenshots. That's the reason I have always held off doing a lot of work on the docs -- I have never been sure things were sufficiently fixed. I don't know the answer to that, but it can't go on forever. :?

Many thanks for drawing my attention to this. :thumb:

regards,

Martin.
