Hi all!
Diederik, thanks a lot for enabling the axonometric grid in SVN! It's great to play around with it. Just one small thing I noticed: It doesn't honour the "snapping enabled" option in the Document Properties dialog.
As I was giving it a try I was for a short moment a bit confused that the newly created grid (which had the checkbock "visible" ticked) didn't appear on the canvas - until I remembered to press '#' to make all grids visible.
I know about this issue, which annoys me aswell :) I will make it such that pressing the new grid button also globally enables grid showing.
I still believe that users unfamiliar with the way it works may be quite confused by this behaviour. Any suggestions how to make the difference between enabling grids globally and individually more obvious to users? Would it be sufficient to add a caveat to the the tooltip in Document Properties?
Maybe it is best to have a single checkbox for each grid: "Enable". And have global grid visibility and global grid snapping option ?
P.S.: Just noticed one other thing. When more than one grid is present then pressing '#' always switches to the tab of the first grid in Document Properties. This is a bit annoying when you actually want to work with the second grid, for example. Is there an easy way to change this?
Also when creating a 2nd grid, the tab switches back to the 1st grid.
And I just noticed that grid emphasized lines rendering is bugged for grids other than 30-30 angles.
So still some bugs to fix, sorry. Thanks for reporting them!
Greetings, Johan
