NO POP-UP WINDOW distance point and line angle

Hello, I am new to using Seamly and have many questions.

  1. When I select the pointer command and then the line command to draw a straight line, a pop-up window should appear when I release the mouse, asking for the “distance point and line angle”” so I can manually enter the required data. This window does not appear for me. Does anyone know why this is happening? I have a Mac Sequoia and a Mac mouse. Could that be interfering with the situation? Would someone be so kind as to explain in detail how to resolve the situation? Thank you.
  2. Does anyone know where I can find a detailed user manual in Spanish or perhaps some good videos with detailed explanations? It could also be in English or Italian, but with good explanations and good detail. What I found in English is very general and doesn’t have detailed explanations. Thank you.

  1. Assuming that you’re selecting the “distance point and line angle” tool like it sounds like you’re saying, it sounds like you’ve been down-clicking on the base point & then dragging the cursor away before unclicking. What you need to do is to first do a full click of the mouse to select the base point, then a full click again to place the point. The property editor window will then pop-up & so you can properly define the point placement formulae.

Welcome @NIN

Click the Point - Angle and Distance tool:

Click with the left mouse button the point you want to start drawing at and move the mouse… a red line should follow the mouse.

Click the left mouse again at the point where you want the line to approx end. The dialog will pop up:

Clicking on any point (or curve) tool will display the tool’s proprties in the Property editor:

OR

Using the right mouse button context menu on a point (or curve) tool and selecting Properties… will open the tool’s dialog:

Ditto on Fashion Patron.

And turn on the CC and see if you can use the settings to translate .
