I've finally started using Canvas 2.0, and I love it. I do a lot of technical drawing for my thesis work, and I could never seem to make smoothed polygons do what I wanted, and I'm a lousy freehand artist. Bezier curves in and excellent drawing program are the answer to my prayers. But I have a couple of question/complaints: Is there anyway of selecting items in multiple layers simultaneously? When I decide to shift the whole graphic on the page, it is a real pain to move each layer one at a time and then line them all up again. It is also a pain if you want to select all and copy to a new document. Select all only works in the present layer. More importantly, I can't seem to get any of my documents into Pagemaker! At first I thought it would be easy: just copy from the Canvas DA and paste into Pagemaker. That didn't work. I got my half page graphic scrunched up in a little tiny corner, like I was viewing it at 32 times smaller than it is supposed to be. Then I tried saving it as PICT and placing it into pagemaker. Same result. Am I missing something here? -- Paul Meyer paul@caf.mit.edu Microsystems Technology Laboratory MIT
