      You should suffer fools gladly... one day you will be one of them!

      I once invented my great new tool for the context-menu that would select all faces with the same material as the one highlighted... then RickW pointed out that it is already a standard built-in tool under Select... ๐Ÿ˜ณ

            One this week was more of a remembering than a Duh moment.

            Using the Entity Ifon box you can increase the length of a line and No. of sides of a circle.

                  One of my many many "Duh" moments came when I found out that while using the Paint Bucket Tool you could hold down Shift to paint all that match or hold Ctrl to paint all connected. I use this often.

                  Boy I have learned a lot of new stuff from this thread ๐Ÿ˜„

                    The changes its length in the same direction it has been drawn. it has to be unattached at one end, and that is the end the lengthens or shortens.

                      Has any one here also thought of compiling/organizing this thread into a more readable format? Wiki? Print?

                          Today I learned you can use the arrow keys to precisely move the selection in Paint.NET. (Holding Ctrl moves it by 10 pixels.)

                              I've been taken to task just now on this one. . . I asked for a plugin to toggle the Construction lines on and off. . .turns out it's in the view menu. . .

                              WHICH I NEVER USE BY THE WAY!!!!

                              Hide Construction lines

                              This is so humiliating. . .. ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ’š

                              I'm okay now. . .

                                I just learned that Edit > Delete Guides is context-sensitive - it deletes guides all guides starting from the current editing context and deeper, but not from "higher" level contexts. I had always thought it always deleted all guides, everywhere.

                                    Only last week I discovered know that double clicking on blue balloons (edge tools-inspect gaps) actually close the gaps.
                                    Great tool!

                                    Ah, yea it's not that obvious - I had further plans for the UI. (also for CleanUp), but they've been down-prioritized.
                                    btw, no need to doubleclick - single click is enough.

                                            D'oh, never knew that you could make a unique texture from a portion of another!
