"Current Points" option and "Transfor/Replicate Object"

[stepglat]

Hewo,

I am using Version 10 still.

I'm investigating the "Transform/Replicate objects" command.

Under "move" there is a "relative to current point" radio button.

Under "rotate/resize/reflect" there is an "about current point" radio button.

These buttons are always grayed out. Why is this? It seems like they could be valuable options.

Should they be available? Is there a selection process I may be omitting. Perhaps there is something wrong with my software? Maybe I need a patch?
Maybe CA just hates me? (kidding)



Confused in Rio Nido,

First of all, make sure you have placed a point or points and select on of them so one is "current", which will make it appear darker than the non-current point. Then check one or more of the options in the dbx, and different options will appear in the bottom part of the dbx. If you don't have a point placed or selected as "current", then they will stay greyed-out.

Hope that helps.

It sure did.

Thank you very much for your reply and your time, Bryce.

P.S. I enjoyed your website too.

Glad you got that sorted and thanks for the kind words. I've been working on that site quite a bit lately.
