[Xerte] Editing tips?

[Dave Burnett]

If you SHIFT-F5 or CTRL-SHIFT-F5 the currently selected icon in
the tree is set up for visual editing – i.e. you can position / resize it with
the mouse. In this mode, you can then select all other icons and move them with
the mouse as well.

It does not seem to get to that icon.The reload happens and flow halts at the interaction above that icon.I then have to click the button and the flow moves down to the original target.Now that isn't that much of a pain, it just doesn't seem to be acting the way it should, and in conjunction with the Draw icon double-click not bringing up the editor, I'm just wondering if either: Installs on Win2K do strange things, or I am doing something wrong.
 

That mode only kicks in once the selected icon is reached on the
stage – because if it was behind a button, you’d never be able to get to it
otherwise, as clicking the button would select it for editing, rather than fire
it’s response.
Hmm, as above, I have to trigger the intervening button, and then I get to the icon I want to edit.

Hi
all,



Has anyone gigged up a cheat sheet or is there a resource for editing
practices?



I'm probably doing something backwards, or since some things don't seem to work
as they say on the can it may be something in my setup.

e.g. doubleclicking a draw icon on the tree does not open the draw editor.

If I highlight an icon below an interaction in the tree and hit Shift/Cntrl/F5
it loads and comes to rest at an icon above that interaction.

How does sequence/layering work? I am having difficulty reaching icons that
appear to be "under" another icon on the display.



Cheers,



Dave
