Re: Shifting positions when someone drops
I have one solution that might work, but it isn't necessarily moving people over a spot, but instead evening out the intervals between the remaining positions. - Delete the position you're getting rid of. - Select/highlight the form/arc. - Click on the Morph Tool - Click and 'check' the box that say...

Re: Latency with audio
I too have had this issue. The only solution I have had was to just re-sync the audio and see if it works.

Re: problem with printing drill to Adobe .pdf with dot fonts
actually, my solution ended up being using pdf995 to print the PDF files rather than Adobe. This worked out perfectly. I know there's another thread on here someplace where Dustin or someone else mentioned it, but I'll just basically repost. go to the pdf995 download page and download/install the dr...

Using Dual Monitors with Pyware v5
I haven't really started many topics on here but this is one that I feel is worth sharing. There was always a dream I had (back in the day) of having a dual monitor set-up. I had seen some videos online or images people posted and just thought about how cool that would be to have. It wasn't the most...

Tips on getting the most out of your mouse!
I wanted to talk about mice. Specifically those with multiple programable buttons. There are many choices we have when we write drill, and I even know some people that prefer to use their laptop touch pad over a normal 2-button mouse. If I had to write with the touch pad alone, I’d be screwed. :) I ...

Re: Coordinate Sheet suggestions
I'll give my 2-cents as well. Know that I am only a designer and not a director/teacher, but when I look at the coordinates and see what is on there right now, I would also prefer it to be simplified and I would suggest it show less clutter as well. I wouldn't necessarily change any of the wording, ...

Re: Gluing for a FTL around a form
You cannot glue a form all the way around, because then you would not have a "leader" to lead.... if that makes sense. But if you really can't in fact glue them together the way I illustrate in this post, then I'm not too sure what the issue would be. You would need to do something like the followin...

Re: Alternate symbols
I like that idea regarding the secondary symbol. That would make things a bit easier. The method I use is similar to yours and what I do is save all of my files as a numbered version, such as: 1opener_01.3dz 1opener_02.3dz ... 1opener_08.3dz and when I am all finished I make sure I do ALL of my labe...

Re: Intervals...
I use the 2's (on the grid) as often as I can. Not ALL the time, but if it works, I use them. The only other interval I like to use to alternate with that is 3. But I do also use 2.5's a lot. Depending on the forms, it could be a 2.5 or a 3 if a form comes out of a 2x2 diag. Depending on the perspec...

Re: Split Tempo Movement?
are you trying to do this merely for the sake of seeing it animated? or is it just to calculate the step sizes for the people going 3's and the people going 2's?
I may have an idea, but it's somewhat complex.

Re: Sync to mp3 problems
This has happened to me a few times and the solution I found was to use an application called Audacity - import the mp3 into it and then simply export it to an mp3 with the default settings. (download the lame mp3 encoder ....) I know you may still come out with an mp3 that is identical to the one y...

Re: Font Size
Go to File / Document Options - Preferences Tab - Symbols.... change the font size and/or make it bold and that should help.

Re: Performer Labeling
I don't think there is a standard, so you are welcome to use whatever you would like. Some people use the same symbols for all and just assign a different color to each section. Some use colors AND symbols. And some just use symbols. My setup is more or less like this, however the letter symbols I u...

I believe what you are experiencing is the normal/default way that it always prints out for everyone. I have never seen it to be a problem or issue for me or any of my clients, but I can see why you would want to adjust it. Possibly for a cleaner look? Unfortunately, I do not believe there is a way ...

I've never done this in a show before, but what you have to do is first put a position (extra person) on the drill and draw the prop, attach a corner of that prop to that position and then click "Carried by a performer..." (I think that position has to be "carrying" the prop from the top-left or bot...

I was writing some drill using a floor cover and I wanted to watch the animation in the perspective window. When I adjust the perspective (angle, pitch, etc.), I can't get the floor cover to line up with the field outline unless I set it so that it's directly overhead. Could this be a problem with m...
