    Drawing Question on Corners

    I am noticing something that I don't remember seeing before. Here is how it happens:
    1. I create a rectangle.
    2. I give the corners a radius
    3. I select the new rectangle with the corner radius
    4. It shows the "old" square corner on the drawing.

    I realize that this does not cause any problem when producing the GCode, but is just one of those small things that "bugs" me when I see it on the drawing.

    Here is my version information:

    CamBam plus [0.9] Rel 8N (rc-7)
    Copyright © 2012 HexRay Ltd

    CamBam.CAD : 0.9.4739.39446
    CamBam : 0.9.4739.39447
    Build Date : 12/22/2012 9:54:52 PM
    Framework Version : 2.0.50727.3643
    Licenced To : George Race

    I have tried it with GDI, OpenGL, and OpenGL_Legacy. Display always shows the old square corner when selected.

    Here is a screen shot showing the corner:
    Any ideas?

    Hello George,

    The new 0.9.8N releases have a new feature that displays small corner markers at the extremities of the shapes you select.
    If you select a circle shape it may be easier to see what they do...they will be in the corners of the square that bounds the circle.

    For 3D shapes it will display the corners of the bounding 'box'.

    You can turn these markers off, in System - Configuration, in the Display section there is an option : "Show Selection Corners"
    Set this to False.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks Andy, great new feature!
    Now I know what it is, it will be helpful rather than "bugging" me.

    This program always continues to amaze me. I has become my standard for drawing, instead of using AutoCAD.

    Keep up the great job,
    George
