Because my track plan grew like Topsy, it has ended up with with half of it on a negative Y coordinate. It would be easier for me if all coordinates were positive. I can move the Page Origin and move theTrackpad origin. The former does not appear to be saved so that reloading later, it is back at the drawing origin. The Trackpad origin does not move the coordinates, but simply appears to move the whole diagram around the screen with the coordinates origin moving with it. Is there a way of doing what I would like or do I just continue to work round it? It is a very small niggle only.

Hello,
If you go to Main Background shapes it will open a background shapes box.Highlight your background shape picture file then click on modify shape.Then click on shift by which should open the enter data for:shift background shape.Simply enter the numbers in horizontal and vertical then click OK.You are better off just moving the background a bit at a time in each plane till you get it where you want.

Hi Allen,

group > group all templates

then

group > shift group by...

menu items.

Or you can shift or rotate the group by mouse action without needing to know dimensions. SHIFT+CTRL+F7 and SHIFT+CTRL+F8, or just the \ and / keys.

regards,

Martin.

Many thanks Martin and Trevor,

Martin, you as usual have the immediate answer.

Trevor, I think you thought that I was referring to background shapes, whereas I was only talking about the trackplan. But many thanks for your reply.
