Claris CAD: Point Tool (ID=28)

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
Q. When using the "Point tool" in Claris CAD 2.0 (v1,v2 and v3) I get an ID=28.

A. This will happen when you are creating point number 2 or above and you do a "Command - Period" before clicking on the screen. If you do not hold down the Command Period keys before and during clicking on the screen to create a point this issue will not occur.


Q. When using the "Point tool" I do a select all and it seams that the points have exploded. Have I done something wrong.

A. No, you have not done something wrong. This will happen when you are creating point number 2 or above and you hold down the "Command - Period" while clicking on the screen. If you do not hold down the Command Period keys before and during clicking on the screen to create a point this will not occur.

Important Note: If either of the two above issues have occured this customers document is most likely broken. We should suggest that the customer create a new document and copy and paste the information into the new document.
