Speed helps and Lightworks lost...?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Does someone have a simple keystroke control that:
1. Cancel's a tool, so that one does not need to go all the way to the top of the tool box to cancel and do another command..?
2. Activates all of one tool's type at a time ...ie: all lettering

On an nother direction how does one get the background picture(s) to appear behind the image when using Lightworks....?

Thanks, Paul

in version 9 you can create shortcuts for everything. Look for arrow tool/toggle last tool. I use number pad 5.

For selecting all the text, simply "Select All" with the text tool active. You can work in any text box while they are all selected. Easiest way to select..... never need to hook a node....

Esc, assuming you are on ArchiCAD 9

With the appropriate tool active, CTRL A

Set the required image as the background in your rendering.
