how do I set a default line width

2014-09-10 Thread gottlieb
I was able to set a default pointsize by double clicking the "T" button. When I tried this for the "line" button, I see that I can only change the absolute start/end gap. I would like to change the line width (from .039 to .02 inches) and (of lesser importance) size of the start/end arrows to 0.3

how do you rotate an object?

2001-09-25 Thread Allan Gottlieb
I have been unable to rotate objects. Rotation is generally useful. My specific need was in using the ``Logic'' figures. All the gates are vertical, but I need horizontal gates. I tried the manual and looked at every menu that I could find. With the exception of logic diagrams, dia has now r
