That patch fixes it! OK, I'm happier now. Sorry for bringing up Altium before... I was trying to elicit sympathy, rather than threatening to leave. There are a few features I might be willing to pay for: - "offset" button like 2d CAD packages have - "extend/trim" mode like 2d CAD packages have - arbitrary rotation of text Please submit any proposals offlist. Or point me to patches already implementing the functionality...
