HELP

A couple of weeks ago I installed X4 and I wanted to set up a series of almost equally spaced vertical guide lines

across my workspace.

The way I attempted this was by setting the 'Duplicate distance to a figure and setting the nudge offset to .002.

I then placed my first guideline at a place on the left side of my drawing window then used "control D" to duplicate the lines at the same equal spacing across to page. After several lines I needed to adjust 2 of the next spaces.

I used the Right Arrow key to move the guide line and the line moved. BUT the numbers in the "Object position" window did not change to indicate the new position. I had to de-select the guideline and then re-select it to get a new position location.

I contacted Corel via Email but was informed that I would have to pay to receive any fix for what I feel is perhaps a different 'Preference' setting to all the other Corel Draw software that I have been using.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, please realise that I have a couple of problems I am 84 yrs old and was born in the UK. !!!

....and here is another way that may work for you: when in the position field in the property bar, use the up or down arrows. That will give a very small update (1/100 inch here) to the position and move the guide line (or anything else) to that position.(The strange thing is that the up/down arrows in that field yield a tiny change, while in some other fields the change is ridiculously large! (for instance 5 degrees in the rotation field). >

 Hi Paul

Thanks for the response but I think I may have misled you re the problem.

I can get the guide lines or objects to move by using the Arrow Keys by the increments that I select in the "Nudge Offset" boxes but as the object moves the indication in the Object Position Boxes does not change, I then have to de-select the object or guide line and then re-select the object or guide line before the position indicator shows the the new position of the object or guide line.

I can select the object/guide line and move it using the mouse and the indication changes as the object/guideline is moving but using the arrow keys do not work The indication of the location does not change as the object/guideline moves and I have to de-select and re-select to see the new position.
