Best Of

Thank you David, It finally works. Here is what I discovered:

My snap setting in the General Preferences menu under Grid & Snap: the "Snap to Content" box was unchecked, and ALL of the "snap to -***-" boxes and options underneath this field were greyed out and unclickable, but still checked in every box, greyed out.

This is an issue

If I click "snap to content" to enable snap, thus enabling the boxes below to become active, I then have to uncheck those active boxes to deactivate them, and then unclick (DISABLE!) the "snap to content" box to, I guess, SAVE??? the functionality of the boxes I clicked below it, returning them to greyed out, defeating the exact purpose of the "Snap to Content" box? I still must be missing something, this is not user friendly, a child could determine this.

Only then was my Issue solved.

If I am just getting this whole clicking-boxes thing backwards, my bad.
IT'S BAD UI DESIGN, REGAURDLESS.

Thank you for you help, please pass this on to whoever needs to hear it. I have to get back to work.

Hi Robb

This might be long shot, but if you go to Revu / Preferences and under General got to Grid & Snap, uncheck every box there that has to do with the snap function. Does that make a difference? I know that there were some issues with this in an older version of Revu, but it should not be a problem in Revu 21.

I like Typewriter for one word entries, like in a titleblock or form. I use Text Box for anything that needs a sentence or paragraph.

Hi There,

I have been working on some standard tools and stamps for my firm and I seem to be running into the limits of both tools and stamps. What I want is a tool/stamp (either is fine the functionality is what we need) that has some dynamic fields and some editable text that a user can double click into to edit. What I am finding is that stamps are only dynamic/editable at the moment they are placed, so I can add radio buttons with Java Script, or automatic names and dates, but after the stamp is placed it is functionally locked, and a user cannot change the stamp. On the other side, I can nest text boxes in a tool so that users can double click to edit text fields, but there is not a way to embed any dynamic functions such as automatic user name and date fields.

Has anyone found a work around? I saw a post from about a decade ago suggesting embedding a stamp within a tool, but when I tested that, the stamp matched the first time I placed, date and user name did not update with subsequent placements.
