Version 3.40 of OpenVector, OpenGridPro and DrawPlus

[Christopher Martin]

OpenVector, OpenGridPro and DrawPlus version 3.40 are available for
download from <http://www.users.on.net/~belles/software/openvector/>.

These applications are all open-source enhancements to Draw. Vector
and GridPro were originally developed from DrawPlus as commercial
applications for 4Mation by Jonathan Marten. Vector included layering
and object library capabilities. GridPro was customised for drawing
grids and other regular object layouts.

This release includes the following new functionality:

* When OpenVector is editing a path, as a shortcut to ADJUST clicking a
point and selecting "Set origin" from the Edit menu, hold down Shift
when ADJUST clicking. There are a couple of advantages to this method.
The point used to set the origin need not first be selected for
editing, and bezier control points may also be used to set the origin.
Note that a Shift-ADJUST click to set the origin will normally take
grid locking into account, but not when clicking on a point on a path
being edited.

* When editing a path, points that overlap can be cycled through by
ADJUST double-clicking.

* The Library window can be resized so as to increase the visible
portion of the list of objects.

* In the Library window, a MENU click over the list of objects will
select the object (if any) under the mouse pointer if no object is
already selected.
