CONSTRAIN ANGLES

The ability to constrain the angle of a line, by pressing shift, to angles other than 45º and 90º i.e. 15º increments or better still, variable increments that can be set.

I do a lot of work involving circular and conical elements and the ability to do this would help tremendously.

This is most likely the fix for marr's rectangle problem.... it was me that had a problem with this recently and this is where the answer lay. I had a problem with it quite a while ago also but had forgotten, this last time, to look towards the other properties control ( paint can ). Ilexsoft have s...

Custom Library

I had an unexplainable occurrence whereby any new symbols that I created were being saved, not to the Custom Library in the HD 1.7.1 folder, but to a Custom Library Copy that was sitting in a Backup Folder on the Desktop. When I discovered this I removed the Custom Library Folder ( that wasn't being...

I still can't get the picture of what the footprint of this machine is to assess how much space it is going to take up. I see from the dimensional info on their site that the machine is approx 42" wide and 21" deep. Can anyone who uses the single sheets in 22x34 or 24 x 36 tell me if the f...

If you don't have the roll feed on the HP 130 what is the configuration of the paper tray for say, a 22 x 34 sheet ......... does the whole thing stick out of the back of the machine ?

Do you produce all copies that you require of your drawing sets on the HP 130, is this economical on an inkjet, or do you produce one copy of each and then have more copied on an electrostatic machine ?

Steven Are you using the HP inkjet plotter that you recommend here. I am looking into them as well as I don't think that I am going to be able to get Diazo paper for my Bruning PD101 machine for much longer. The people that supply my diazo paper are coming to talk to me about a HP machine that will ...

Invisible Rectangle

I can not draw a rectangle that doesn't disappear when I click to set the end point. I can use the multisided polygon tool( including four sides ) and it works fine but the regular and inclined rectangle tools don't. If I click in the area that I placed the ( invisible ) rectangle then the control p...

I see that some of the Keyboard Languages visible in your Last Grab Shot consist of Unicode characters so I guess HD must support it !
