Re: Annotating Through Holes?

Hello, We do not use drill bits, we use a laser. We recommend you use a hole that is about .05" larger diameter than the largest your screw would need (for paint). So a web page like http://www.engineersedge.com/screw_threads_chart.htm is very useful in determining what those sizes are. If you do ne...

Re: Imperial measurements

Hello, The measurement tool was created for our internal use, then we decided it was useful enough to include in designer. We will make it obey the user's preferences at some point, but for now if you need metric measurements, the distance tool will give you those (just not in a nice graphical forma...

Hello,

Re: Accept and Close doesn't work

Hello, and sorry I took so long to respond. If you are still having this problem, I need to know the exact steps you went through to re-create it. So what template you were using, what you added to a face, etc. Also, if you can send me the debug.0.log from your Documents\ProtocaseDesigner\ directory...

Re: Bug Report: Trimming circle or ellipse causes oversize box

Hello Jonathan, This one is interesting... We are using Java.awt.GeneralPath internally for our objects that are made up of segments. We simply call the getBounds2D() of this Java object, so this error is internal to Java.awt so we will have to make our own bounding algorithms to fix this. We probab...

Re: Bug Report: re-trimming of trimmed ellipses breaks the shape

Hello Jonathan,
This one might take us a bit to solve, in fact an elliptical arc segment will not intersect with another ellipse, elliptical arc segment, circle, or circular segment.
