issues with orthosnap

Hi all, noticed an unfortunate interaction that happens when holding shift and using the pencil tool: it selects previous comments even if the current tool is in exclusive mode. is this something that can be fixed or changed?

Re: Tablet mode UI improvements

I couldn't think of the specific programs I had seen that have non-standard scrollbar UI, but chatGPT threw out this list: Adobe Premiere Pro: In Premiere Pro's timeline, the horizontal scrollbar is positioned at the top of the timeline panel rather than at the bottom. This is designed to keep it cl...

Re: Tablet mode UI improvements

Yes I'm aware the tools can be moved, but the scroll bar cannot.

Re: Copies of selected objects being created while trying to ctrl-select more objects

So this is working as intended? Why is it making a copy instead of moving the base content? That doesn't seem to be a logical implementation of modifying base content. I can understand shifting the base content, but copying shouldn't happen IMO without a copy>paste command.

Here is a quick mock-up of what I'm looking for, wouldn't be a bad idea to shrink the vertical height of the scroll bar too if this was ever implemented

Re: Comment improvement idea

Yes I have noticed that command, it does work it's just that when inserting you can't simply click, you need to click and drag.

Comment improvement idea

When inserting shapes, it is required to drag a box to scale the size of the object. This makes perfect sense when inserting a free-form shape, but less so when inserting a symmetrical shape using alt-click. would it be possible to set a standard dimension that would only be active if you were inser...

Tablet mode UI improvements

Something I've noticed while trying to take notes on PDFs while using a stylus and tablet is that my palm will sometimes register on the horizontal scroll area, moving the view to wherever I have managed to touch. Would it be possible to uncouple the scroll tools so they could be placed on the top o...

Copies of selected objects being created while trying to ctrl-select more objects

There is a weird issue I've noticed while trying to select multiple components via clicking or tapping while holding control: if you accidentally move the mouse or stylus while trying to click on another object, the whole group of already selected objects will have a duplicate created on top of them...

Stylus and free-highlight tool

I've noticed what I believe is a bug with how the free highlight tool is interacting with the stylus: When using a stylus the pen end works properly, but when you try to erase using the end of the stylus it just continues to draw. If you swap to the pen tool and then use the eraser end of the stylus...

Re: Automatic layers/layers per pen SOLVED

I was trying to use the pen so as to only deal with the three input methods, but I figured out an add-on application (Tablet Studio Pro) that lets me do on-screen buttons so I have input options when not using a keyboard.

Re: Automatic layers/layers per pen SOLVED

Thanks for the workflow Daniel, I'll play with it and see if it's better than my current solution (go into comments and group by colour, then move to layer I want) so I'm using a surface pen 2 slim, it has a side button and a top botton, but they don't allow the side button to be remapped. I might n...

Hi, I have been trying to test-bed fully digital markups of electrical GA and schematic drawings and I have a situation that I haven't been able to find a good workflow for.
