    Want to move both sides...like in v10

    This may be a simple question to answer, but I couldn't find what I was looking for in the help menus...

    I am using the X1 demo and see that it is easy to pick a window, door, or opening and grab a handle on one side or the other to resize it, but is there a way to resize both sides at the same time like in version 10?

    I hope you can still do this!

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hold down either the C key or the comma key.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

    In preferences change the edit behavior to concentric and then dragging one side will give you that behavior.

    Alan,

    Pref - Edit - Behaviors - Concentric will change the behavior of all objects, not just the resizing of openings.

    Here's the list of shortcut keys for temporary modification of behaviors. To see how they work, hold the key indicated and grab the side handle of a window. There are two different key options for both, for use by left or right mousers.

    Default ....... Alt-Z or Alt-/ (Alt & Z key together, or Alt & slash key)
    Alt............. Alt or Alt
    Move...........Z or /
    Resize .........X or .
    Concentric ...C or ,

    Some will appear to act no differently than normal. They are for use when you've set your default Behaviors to other than Default - so that you can temporarily have any type of action without stopping to change that setting.
