Two more questions

[Learning K]

Two things keep making me nuts.  I figure them out, and then I cannot figure out how I did them.  If someone will answer me here, then I can refer back to the answers the next time I get confused.

1.  The TEXT function of the DRAWING INSPECTOR is at the bottom.  Sometimes I cannot get close to seeing it, let alone alter the text (change color, center it, etc.)  If I close and reopen the INSPECTOR it is still so far down the page that I cannot get to it.  Other times, most times, it is right there, near the center and I can use it. 

What am I doing differently?  How can I get to it?

2.  How do I move a map which is second or third map of a document, onto another map where it becomes the new document.  I know I can rename it and delete it from the original document.  In NM4 we use to drag it to a new map and it would copy itself, and I know it is different in NM5.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks in advance, especially for the first answer.

Hi Kathy,

if I understand it right you don't see the complete inspector on your screen. You can split it into individual windows:



to

 

by klicking on the red framed top of each part and move it. If you take the most top part it moves the complete inspector, by clicking the others the inspector is splitter.

I hope this solves your issue.

I think for your second topic there is only your workaround available.

Actually, my problem was a little different than that.  I have only the DRAWING inspector opened (having closed the other two).  There are 5 features at the top and the TEXT is the last one -- as your screenshot clearly shows.  When they are all opened the text is at the bottom and cannot even be seen.  After I wrote my question, I went back and stared at it.  All the features except TEXT had a lock on them.  I clicked on each lock until it went away and then clicked TEXT and it appeared at the top.

I do not understand this feature and hope someone will explain its purpose as it must be good for something.  I am presently working mostly with NM4 conversions so the features may lock themselves in the translation.

Thanks on the reply and confirming the other answer.

Now I understand your point, I even was not aware of the functionality.

A double-klick on an inspector submenu, as colors, lines, etc. fix them and make them permanent. Double-klick undo it as well, so that you can change from on point to the next, the way I was using it all the time. So from you question I learned a new feature.

FYI: You can also shift+click to select a range of inspectors, or command+click to add or remove displayed inspectors.
