So I've been playing with Vixen a bit while waiting for parts....this is a really good way to fuel the addiction. I searched the forum but couldnt come up with anything. In Adjustable Preview, is there a way to keep the lines straight when dragging the mouse? I know in most drafting programs, holding the shift key while dragging will keep the lines straight. Is there a similar function in Vixen?
Thanks,
Mike B.

Vixen's preview drawing is not its strong suit
Normally I just add dots in to make the line straight and use the right mouse button to erase the bad sections

Well it's manageable but i was using my laptops touchpad and it just wasnt working like i wanted. using a real mouse is much easier. just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something. Thanks for the quick reply.

Try this trick. I scan a picture and a sheet of graph paper and use it in the preview. Use as small a graph paper squares as you can find. Dim the drawing with the slider bar and place your pixels on the graph.

It is just a slow process. Like Ron said, the right click is your friend. And remember that you can go back and edit it later. I often just do a quick rough sketch without straight line so I can get a semblance of an idea of what I will be seeing and then go back and touch up different parts when I am needing to take a break from sequencing.
