TransformManagerFX?
Hello,
Something I need in the near near future is snap-to-grid on move and resize. I have heard (read) through your forum that there maybe some work being done on this? I really hope you might have something to help me out and I am willing to work with beta software (of course source code would help when/if I run into bugs).
Anyway let me know if there is anything you have that would supply snap-to-grid functionality when moving and or resizing.
Thanks,
Lance
Hi Lance,
The TransformManagerFX is a composite manager that links the following managers together;
ResizeManagerFX
MoveManagerFX
RotationManagerFX
SnapManagerFX
SelectionManagerFX
The component set will also come with the FloatingCanvasFX that acts like a normal drawing pad where you can set the floating canvas's width and height. Drag and drop components into it. I will only support the selection manager when using the FloatingCanvasFX component not just an ordinary Canvas.
This manager is almost done. I am also working on the RuledCanvasFX that subclasses the FloatingCanvasFX and adds, grids, guides, snapping natively(object, guide and grid), vertical and horizontal rulers and cross hairs. This component also has native drag and drop built into it.
That component set also will come with the LayerTreeFX that acts as an object manager for the instances located inside the ruled canvas. Similar to what FireWorks and Illustrator does with Layers.
That component due to current agreements will not be available for about 3 months.
The TransformManagerFX however will be released next month.
Note :: The ResizeManagerFX, TransformManagerFX and RuledCanvasFX are completely different products. This means even if you bought one the others are at their normal product prices.
You are always entitled to Free sub point product updates but, not full point releases. There will be an exception for the ResizeManagerFX going to 2.0. This will be free for existing customers.
