Room Square Footage

Post by KitchM »

I would like to see an enhancement of "Show sq.ft." instead of "Display area" under "Modify rooms...", with it unselected by default. And I would like to be able to change the size and location of the text as well.

Thank you.

Try the button next to the Insert Text button after selecting the room.

Changing the location and the orientation of the room area and name can be done with the indicators shown below and above the text.
And sorry but the label Display area won’t be renamed mainly because many people don’t use Imperial system unit.

Oh, yeah. That darn metric comes into play again. Oh well, I must adapt. ;)

Display area measure? Show area calc.? A little more intuitive would be nice.

@handmex, what button? Did I miss something else?

One button to make text larger, one button to make text smaller....
There's also a Help function that may be of interest to you...😃

That darn metric system? Only the USA, Myanmar and Liberia have not introduced it yet! So you belong to a minority that we are allowed to fool without a guilty conscience! [:p]
So man, you really should adapt... [;)]

Hmmm... do they have anything else in common?

@hansmex,
Okay, I now see to what you're referring; it is the toolbar. However, I totally got used to the right-click context menu because of the things hidden inside there. One was "Modify text style". That gave me CtrlAlt+ and CtrlAlt-. Of course those do not work on my system and so I had to keep going back to them while I ignored the buttons that came into play on the toolbar. Hard to anticipate when something will become available or not. In any case, I like your buttons idea better. It does seem to be available when I need it.

To all,
Metric? Shmetric. ;) But the implication is correct; the leaders must get off their fat behinds and set a standard. Introducing it is not enough; it has left places England with people caught in-between, just like in the USA. We've all had the introduction. I'm getting extremely tired of jumping from one standard to the other.

Many thank you's to all.
