Recipe for misclicks, especially the way scale and perspective handles are inset/outset on the same corners. I'm personally partial to Inkscape's method of displaying transform handles - simply click on the selection repeatedly and it cycles through which set of handles (scaling, shear/rotate) it shows the user. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. |
