MACDRAW II IMPORT
Improved text placement in MacDraw Pro may cause line breaks to change slightly within text blocks in imported MacDraw II files. This is due to letter spacing contracting (or in some cases expanding) slightly. Manually adjusting the letter spacing of words on a line above a new line break will return the line break to its original position.
To increase (decrease) character spacing for a word:
1. Select the text tool, and click on the text block.
2. Double-click the word to select it.
3. Hold down the option key and press the right (left) arrow key.
STYLEWRITER INFORMATION
The Apple StyleWriter printer uses the memory in your Macintosh to rotate blocks of text. Depending on available memory, large blocks of rotated text may not print. Try the following steps:
1. Break the text block into smaller parts, and delete extra carriage returns. The total amount of memory required to print rotated text varies in direct proportion to the total size of the text block, so smaller blocks need less memory.
2. Increase available memory. Instructions on increasing available memory may be found in Appendix A of the MacDraw Pro User's Guide.
ADOBE TYPE REUNION INFORMATION
Adobe Type Reunion substantially reduces the performance of MacDraw Pro for many interactive operations (such as selecting objects). You may experience significant performance gains by removing Type Reunion from your system folder and restarting your system before using MacDrawÊPro.
Additionally, an incompatibility exists with Type Reunion when saving files in MacDraw II format which can result in system instability. Please do not Save As MacDraw II with Type Reunion installed.
COMPLEX POLYGON OBJECTS
Complex polygon, bezigon, and freehand objects may not print in some cases. Please see the UserÕs Guide Troubleshooting section for information on approximate point guidelines, and tips on printing. Additionally, gradient fills may not appear in complex polygon objects.
Simplifying complex polygons will result in faster printing and faster screen display. To simplify these objects, use the Reshape command, select the object, and remove some points. Also, try to reduce points of overlap on an object (where lines on the object cross).
A/UX INSTALLATION
If you are installing under A/UX 2.0, you will be able to install the application using the Installer, but will need to install ancillary files manually (by dragging them from the disks). Please do not use the Easy Install feature. Instead:
1 Create a folder called "MacDraw Pro Folder" on the root directory of your A/UX volume. Then, install the MacDraw Pro application following the steps in the Installation Options section of Getting Started. (Essentially, create the "MacDraw Pro Folder" on your "/" volume, launch the installer, click the customize button, click the item titled ÒMacDraw Pro ApplicationÓ and press the Install button.)
2. Drag the other files you wish to have installed from the MacDraw Pro disk set to your hard disk. To ensure proper operation of spelling dictionaries, help, and the XTND file translation system, install your files as listed in ÒChecking the InstallationÓ in Getting Started. (Note: if you already have a "Claris" folder with spelling dictionaries installed, you do not need to update your dictionary files. If you already have a "Claris Translators" folder, drag the translators from your MacDraw Pro disk set into the existing folder.)
