Asta powerdraw custom tokens

Hi Frisa - Welcome to Planning Planet

Set up a text box in the border file and type the required heading - leave a space and hit F9.

I list of preset hyperlinks is displayed from within the Project Properties or Chart Details.

These can be filled in from each chart.

Don’t forget to "Embed" the border file so it stays with the chart wherever you send it.

Pffff i now use user fields to add my own information.

I’m happy that you are helping me!! but powerdraw don’t want to work as expected :P

Hi Friso

Works well enough for me - what are you expecting it to do?

I agree, it can be frustrating at times. The biggest one for me is small alignments that can be very difficult to achieve, and then SAVE. PowerDraw likes to nudge boxes, charts etc a few mm on previewing. You can spend ages getting everything looking right, only to preview to see some items have moved.

I usually just have to accept a version that is 98% of what I intended...

This is how i how my working border looks. But finally it works. After a week of work..... http://img197.imageshack.us/f/astapowerdraw.jpg/

What’s going on there Friso ??

Doesn’t look like any border file I’ve seen before...

Send me your email and I will send you ours to look at

Lool, i send you my email !

Hi Tom - Friso

You are right not to put email addresses on the open forum - use the private message system.

PS when I first used powerproject the border configuration file started with an asterix * and you hade to build up your border using BASIC language from that.

Mike,

thnx for the advice!

The last update from powerdraw is from 2002 we are living in 2010! :

- Image format only in .wmf/.bmp
- it is hard to position @ the good coordinates ( i used the notpad editor to get it fixed)
- Not easy to make custom fields

Hi Friso

Nothing in this world is perfect.

We all use our own methods to work around software shortcomings.

so - whatever butters your muffin then go for it.
