O-Draw / How to do?

I want to change the diameter of the first ring of a boundary point, not the distance between one or more rings and not the arrival radius.

Where can I do this? Minimum is 1000.000 ?

In the Properties. Right click on it and then change the settings. Distance between range rings. Try .01 and .05 etc. Changes all the rings spacing. Hope that helps. Aart

Re: O-Draw / How to do?

Does not work.

Default value is 1.000.
I changed the 1 into a 2 When I click OK the value is automaticly changed to 2000.000
When I try to change the 1 into 0.5 value is also autmaticly changed in 5000.000
When I delete the default value of 1.000 and try to fill in a value with a dot, the dot is not accepted.
I change a false value into a 1 When I click OK the value is automaticly changed to 1.000

Aart, Check the box "Show Point Range Rings!"

Re: O-Draw / How to do?

Aart,

just checked with W8.1 and here it works like expected.
I can enter complete integers or values like 0.4 or 0.030
Using "." as decimal separator.

I think what you want to do to have an initial distance of let us say 2nm and then range rings with 0.3nm distance is not implemented.
The distance parameter defines the initial distance and distances between individual rings.

Re: O-Draw / How to do?

As I said earlier, you cannot just change one ring.
You cannot do what you want, it is not permitted.

You can change ALL the rings to have a certain distance.
To have rings even SHOW you must check the checkbox.

OK?

What I want is one round boundary with only one ring but with a diameter of 0.3 NM (or KM) My W10 laptop does not accept values with a decimal. Dot "." or "," comma makes no difference.

That's different to what you said before:
"I want to change the diameter of the first ring of a boundary point, not the distance between one or more rings"

I have no problem doing what you want - my Win7 laptop accepts decimals for Distance between Rings.

Just noticed that you are in Netherlands. What is your default decimal marker (comma or period)?

If your local setting is a comma, what happens if you temporarily re-configure your laptop to use a period instead?

If that allows you to enter decimal distances, you should report it as a possible bug.

(Just tried reversing my decimal and thousands symbols - decimal ranges still worked byt ODraw did NOT honour the format change and still displayed a period as the the decimal indicator - looks like the extension is not localised )

Re: O-Draw / How to do?

Seriously, I think this is a windows locals problem. There is a setting in windows that localizes the software. Earlier there were problems with one of those settings which just did not work correctly. It had nada to do with O. Do a search on it. Windows locales settings, if i remember correctly.

Re: O-Draw / How to do?

In the Netherlands a comma is for decimals, a period for thousand.

When I fill in a value for "distance between rings", the comma and the period are accepted BUT after that nothing is accepted.

I fill in 0, (zero comma) or 0. (zero period) but after the comma or the period nothing more is accepted (sound is heard.)

Re: O-Draw / How to do?

@Rick, I think it is more a local W10 problem.

I made a new one on my local LINUX machine and there I had no problem with a value of 0.2. I exported it as a .gpx and imported it on my W10 machine. At Properties there was also a value of 0.2

But then, on my W10 machine, when I tried to change the value from 0.2 to 0.1, the value was automaticly changed into 100.000
