Change in Parallel with Distance

Post by bryank99 » Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:39 pm

Hi Andrew,

In previous versions the Distance dialog box kept focus while drawing, so one could simply type a new offset without having to set focus to Distance for each change. This was most useful while drawing lines with different offsets rapidly.

Now in V 3.20.1 0, this no longer works. Was this change intentional?

Regards,

Bryan

You can simply type a new distance while using this tool (even if the distance input field does not have the keyboard focus).
