LPub3D 1.3.0 Released !

[Jaco van der Molen]

I'd love to be able to add arrows directly in LPub3d!

Me too! Much sharper then adding LDraw shaped arrows that generate shadows and all.

And what about adding a circle to highlight something?

I do this by adding the letter O like, for example red, text in a large font size suitable of a font that has a near shaped circle for the letter O or any other font that has some kind of circle in it.

Come to think of it... I also use this trick sometimes with arrows. For example I use the character of the either Wingdings font that represents certain arrows. However, these can only be used if the arrow is staight. You cannot exactly manipulate the way the textfield is rotated to compensate the correct direction the arrow must be in.

Thinking while I type this reply: you could in theory create a font with some tools and draw certain arrows and symbols you can use in instructions.

I also steel some symbols of official instructions that have vector graphics in them and then use a tool like Adobe Acrobat Professional to add these to my instructions (see the attachment to this reply "Symbolen.pdf").
