Dear Charlie

It works for me in the "Stamp Angle" field (ie. the rapid move) but not in the "Stamp Size" field.  Also the "Stamp Angle" field has two rapid move buttons and a "zero" button as show in image - perhaps these options in the Size field would help.

What I forgot to mention is that on some of the scrolling knobs you have provided a "fast increment/decrement" option, could this is also provided on the Stamp Size  knob (say +/-10 mm)

Geoff

Dear Charlie

I can follow your logic, but I cannot reproduce it on my machine/mouse.   Where, precisely do you need to click, and in which direction do you drag to produce the fast adjustment?  I cannot see the non-linear adjustment.

Dear Charlie,

The value knob that I have found a particular problem is: Edit Paths>Supershape Stamp>Stamp Size.  The normal scroll movement is "0.01"mm, with SHIFT it is "0.1" mm, To change a value of 20 (the default) to 200 takes a lot of scrolling. I have not found any way of manipulating the knob directly - please explain how this is done.  I know that I can left-click-drag on the knob but the rate of change is just the same.  Most of the other knobs (that I have tried) require less moves to alter the value within the max (reasonable)  range (e.g. for the Stamp angle option, SHIFT moves the value at 1 deg steps) - so these are not such of a problem,  but it would be my view that some sort of direct entry should be provided on all such fields.  For example, perhaps a double-left-click to show a text box entry option.

I think that the scroll fields are  a useful tool, and are effective in many situations, but not when a large change is required.

Geoff

There are several places in the user interface where "scrolling" fields are implemented (shown by the circular dial symbol).  I understand that these fields can be changed by scrolling with the mouse scroll button (with SHIFT to scroll faster).  Is there a way (perhaps a short cut) to set this filed to a required value (its takes forever to scroll from 10.00 to 100.0 even with the SHIFT key down)?

Geoff

OK, I can now see that the problems only occurs when using metric units.

I note that in vers 1.8b (I have not checked earlier versions) there seems to be an offset from the actual grid when snapping to grid, i.e the actual node position is offset from the grid.  The amount of offset depend on the grid size.

When I try to import a DXF file I get a fatal error "PixelCNC.exe has stopped working"  The DXF file imports into other programs without any problems (FreeCad, NanoCad, CamBam) and it is only 73 kb in size.  I can provide the DXF file for testing, but I can't seem to upload it here.
