They are still there. It seems to happen when the software crashes (usually when trying to translate a DXF or DWG file), or if the power is turned off. Ya.

Try this:

Create the key commands. Save the document. Quit PowerCADD.

Open PowerCADD.

Are they there?

Is that the one you get from PowerCADD's Help menu?

It's the one in my WildTools Documentation folder. And yes.

Hmm. I am looking at WildTools10Docs.pdf file dated May 10 2018 and it is the Spin Tool. I must have the wrong file?

Dang,

Don't you hate it when you realise there is an easier way just after you've posted something?!

Rotate everything then select all the notes and use WildTool Spin Tool to unspin them in place.

If I start PowerCADD from the Dock, i am presented with a New Document Dialog, with a list of stationary files and the buttons on the bottom say: Open and Existing File..., Close, and Choose. Would be a delightful, and useful surprise to also have a button that says Open Recent... with those three, ...
