Suggestions

I am really enjoying working with the 3.0.0 update! Here are a couple things I would find helpful:

1) The ability to lock intervals and show symbols when using the drawing tools, as when using the morph tool
2) The ability to lock an arc or line to the center of the form, rather than an endpoint (useful when trying to align concentric or symmetrical forms)
3) More text box flexibility (specifying fonts, sizes, bold, italic, etc.)
4) Adding spiral, star, and filled polygon tools (similar to the current block tool, but with more predictable results=locking to a triangle, etc.)
5) The option to display symbols in the perspective view window, rather than the wedges
6) An active synchronization between the perspective view window and the regular window, so that as you reshape a form, you can see the effect in perspective before accepting the changes
7) Fixing the perspective disrepancy when tilting the perspective angle (currently, marchers on the hash don't appear to be on the hash when the field is tilted in the perspective window)

The current updates are great, and I look forward to seeing what the Pyware team comes up wth next! Thanks for all your work on the program, and outstanding technical support!

Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions. I will have these added to the update list for future updates.

A couple of the things that you have requested are currently available.

In all of the drawing tools you may choose to lock the intervals when drawing by simply clicking on the padlock that is to the left of the interval box.

There is a spiral tool plug-in available it is currently only available from Lentine's Music it is a Special Release Tool. You may purchase this Plug-in from Lentine's Music.

Their contact information is listed below.

Dustin,

Thanks for the clarification on locking intervals. Will this maintain mixed intervals as well (when redrawing a percussion arc, for example)?
