Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
For some reason, updates are going into the default folder, instead of patching my custom installation, so I got an update when I checked for one.
My custom installation is still build 345. I copied all of the files across from the default install to update it

Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
You can do this with the Glyph Transformer just as easily, or more easily — applying a fixed position to a range of glyphspwillard wrote:But the waiting is killing me... I use this feature a lot.Not so fast! The upcoming release is not available
With practice, you can do it almost as fast for a single glyph with the cursor keys while watching the status bar co-ordinates (bottom left corner only):
- Left/right up/down move by 10 funits
- Ctrl + Left/right up/down move by 1 funit.
- Shift + Left/right up/down move by 100 funits.
Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
I see. But that does not really solve my problem related individual points... (at least I can't see that it does)
Right now, I can attempt to change the value of a specific coordinate to anything, press apply... no update. I want to be able to manipulate points individually by value not with mouse selection.

Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
It won't be long before the update arrives, but meanwhile you can select individual nodes with the q and w shortcuts, then move them with to the desired position with the the cursor keys. Mouse selection allows you to select several nodes at once, which is useful for moving lines while keeping them horizontal or vertical.pwillard wrote:Right now, I can attempt to change the value of a specific coordinate to anything, press apply... no update.

Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
This bug is fixed for me — both for contour mode and points mode.
Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
It works fine for me in contour mode. In point mode, I find that the first edit works OK, but in order for any further changes to 'take' I need to click in the glyph edit window after pressing 'Apply' in the Transform dialog.

Re: Transform Toolbar: Position Tab
There was still an issue there. It will be solved later this week.
