Let me add some extra info and (possibly) make my points more clear (no pun intended). I don't really know if these are documented features but ([] means optional) - one can actually select multiple glue points (when using the "glue point menu" and with the mouse, or selecting one by one only holding the shift key); - if you try to delete them all ([Edit-]Ctrl-X or Del), all points are deleted; - if you try to move them with the mouse, the points move with the cursor. - a status message is displayed: "<n> glue points from Shape selected" But (again) - if you try to paste ([Edit-]Ctrl-V or Del), the *whole shape* is pasted; - when one tries to move them with the keyboard arrows, as you were dealing with a plain object, the *whole shape* is moved and not only the points. - consistently, when these selected points are copied and pasted (with [Edit-]Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, within the contour and still in "glue point menu"), the *whole shape* is pasted (together with the glue points). IMHO, the usage of connections, glues and groupings is somewhat natural in making diagrams. Before I began to use the glue points facilities, I used to group "nearly radius=0 circles, no lines, no color filling" and the relevant shape; the collapsed circles' "bounding boxes points" were used to make the connections. Of course, the final result was a beginner's mess since the internal shapes/glue points of a group are not exposed to the outside of the group (which is another feature request I intend to ask for you patient guys); but it worked like a charm (and of course with the group removed) when one had to make some movings, and copyings and so on. Hope it helps. Thanks again.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
