NanoCAD 5.0 "stretch" Function jus...

LAZY GUY's Photo LAZY GUY 23 Oct 2019

I find that the "stretch" function in the NanoCad 5.0 version can only work as moving an object.
But the "stretch" function can normally work to change the parameters of an object (e.g. a rectangle ) in other version.

What do you mean by moving only? In 5.1 it works as expected:

Could you make some shots to explain, what goes wrong?

I am having the same issue. When trying to perform the stretch command on a line, pline, rectangle, etc. the entire selection moves rather than the particular nodes being stretched.
Running nanoCAD 5.0 as well.

I don't think that there is a NanoCAD 5.1. If it does exist, then I couldn't find the download. Stretch does not work properly in NanoCAD 5.0.

To get stretch to work, you need to follow these directions:
  • Type "s".
  • Press spacebar.
  • Highlight the handles that you wish to translate to a different location.
  • Press spacebar.
  • Select the first point of the stretch command.
  • Select the second point of the stretch command.
If you are used to the AutoCAD method of being able to select your handles first, then it is a little disconcerting for the stretch command to function as a move command.

Kreator, how did you get NanoCAD 5.1? Can you verify if you have version 5.0 or 5.1? Thank you.

Hello,
(NC5.0 and user Autocad)

the Stretch command works as in most software ...
I do not see where the problem is.

Select one, two or three ends of the rectangle: we stretch.
Select four ends: we move
Please note selection from right to left, dotted green area

5.1 is only in Russian locale, English latest version is 5.0, as I know.

Like crazy, sometimes It works perfectly; sometimes it works as a "Move" function.

After trying many times, I solved it: We need to select the object AFTER typing the command instead of the opposite; I have attached two screenshots here for those two cases.

So, typing "s" before selecting is the solution for this question.
