Hi Joe,
I have been playing with the Custom object in the PreView. I am trying to draw a star which has 2 child stars in it + some other lines around. I got stuck on some issues.
Since the custom object is pixel count specific (and that's great!) I need a little bigger grid to draw it.
1. I am not sure how the grid dimensions are defined. But when I tested to draw a custom object over whole picture (1024x768) it gave me a grid approximately 344x255. Would it be possible to manually adjust the grid size (number of columns and rows) when the edit window opens? By the way the grid view size adjustment is handy. Thanks for that.
2. Related to the previous request. It would be nice to have ability to adjust an object view size (it’s scale). Specially for the custom objects. Otherwise my star would consume half of the preview. For other objects it’s actually possible to do that by drawing it small and add custom amount of pixels to them.
3. It would be helpful to be able to load a background picture to the custom object edit grid. That way we could follow the pattern and have it done pretty fast with very accurate results. It would help a lot during more complex object creations. (Btw. The grid size adjustment would fit here perfectly.) :biggrin2:
I know my requests might be complex, but it's better to let you know than just be quiet.
Thank you
