Re: Well Duh moments

As a related sidebar - it's worth considering the level of precision in the calculation Using the example numbers noted originally for consistency • Entering 635/2.54 in the length field forces the calculation accuracy to two decimal points. Certainly more than accurate for general AEC purposes. I'm...

Re: Well Duh moments

Say the guy has a table that is 643cm long Just enter it as 643" and divide by 2.54 in the edit box Another option also exists: Let Pcadd do the math... by typing 643cm in the edit box (length field if that's the case) and press ENTER and PCadd will handle the math / unit conversion Example: 1. wit...

Re: XRef in new Powercadd

Hopefully- it will be all good but the killer feature that would cement my future support is the ability to Xref or External Reference. Been there for many years... References menu at top of screen Will open a standard Mac OS miniFinder window to locate the PCAdd file to place as a reference More i...

Re: Reference cross hairs

From the description it sounds like you're looking for is in the Preferences Dialog: PowerCADD menu > Preferences menu > Tools > Long Crosshair & Snap Crosshair Check those both on and it should do the trick If Snap Crosshair is off but Long Crosshair is on the long crosshairs will not 'jump' to the...

20+ seats here. We would be very interested in a move forward. We've been using PowerCaDD for 30 years give or take, it's a cornerstone of our business. Worth every penny at twice the price.
Thanks for making me feel old :lol:
Say high to Pete
Hope life is treating you all well!

Re: PDF save w/out background

I'm a little confused as it can depend on the source of the PDF (what application made it and the type of data). Generally PCadd created PDFs will open with a transparent background and can be stacked and their positions adjusted front/back either by using Layers or by moving the objects front / Bac...

Re: transparent background in PDF

Re: transparent background in PDF

Re: Keystoke Help

The Move you seem to be referring to a Floating Window - NOT - a menu command (i.e. not in the Edit menu... ) So, to set a key command for the Move Window (which is a sneak peek into the Move Dialog box accessed from the Edit menu > Move... ), open the Preferences > Commands dialog like you have alr...
