CP Sketcher-Version 2.1 coming soon... with a part editor.
Reverend_Dan:
Great bit of software.
Found a tiny bug, if you click on the help icon more than once it spawns multiple copies of it.
Could you make an export to bitmap function with the under CP view and possibly with the gridlines on, that way i can just resize the grid to 1" in photo shop and print it out paste and drill
thanks, much better than the flash one
Tahnok:
Thanks everyone.

At the moment, I'm not planning anything. I have some other projects that I'm working on, so it will probably be a while until I do anything more than bug fixes and part additions.

Yes, I did indeed get his permission. He was very cool about letting me use them.

Oh, OK, I didn
Frostillicus:
This is simply awesome. WOW.
What a great tool - outputs a bitmap and everything. I will definitely use this for my next cab (probably gonna keep it simple this time... ;) ).
I have some questions but it's probably just me not being familiar with the software enough...anyways:
I set a size of 24"wide by 12"high. I went to export BMP (not the hi-res one). Photoshop opened it but the image was actually only 6.333"wide by 3.167" high. Without resampling the image, I could resize it to the correct size of 24x12 by changing the dpi to 19. Is this intentional - not complaining since it was easy to upconvert it to at least 72dpi and the correct size - just wondering if I was missing something. The highres option, like your help file says, is twice the size of the regular export.
But all that aside - thanks for taking the time to write this tool, it's sure to become a favorite for everyone. 8)

Would you please send me a copy of any documentation you have regarding your file format?
It will save me a lot of effort reverse-engineering it. ;D

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, the program does not export to real scale. The target scale is indeed 19 pixels to an inch. I have gotten quite a few requests for this; perhaps I will look into it. It will be difficult though since it will require greater precision than the current graphics (mainly, drill holes).

Actually, I knew a few people would ask me about that, so I included it in the help manual. It
