Squiggle and Jiggle are actually pretty bad, now that I think of it, but I'm afraid we've all got so used to them we don't see the flaws and the possibilities. Very embarrassing.

I was by our local Apple store today and took a look at the new mouse.

What's most appealing is the scrolling. I use a Logitech MX Revolution, which is the best mouse I've ever used, but to scroll ...

If it happens while drawing, note which drawing tool you were using.

The behavior sounds like a setting for the tool to put the objects on a specific named layers. You have this ability with dimen ...

David,

The 'Fast Drawing Mode' meant that the whole drawing was drawn using OpenGL, which is fast as blazes but has many limitations and drawbacks. It's not possible to switch between drawing mode ...

manamana,

How about doing a couple of simple tests.

Take a PowerCADD drawing that has the problem on your mac ...
