          Surely the ipad has a context click option, tap and hold for example?

            Yes, Tao and hold will let you open in a tab but I have not figured out how to.pause or move backward.

              I've recently posted a couple of non extension thread techniques elsewhere, in truth tho they aren't really true threads because they have multiple 'paths'. So I just did this one for the hell of it, mistakes and all, and thought the best place to hide it was here.

                Making quick work of what would be a tedious job by using solid tools.
                I've used Split, but Difference is all you need if you just want the grid structure.

                    This is one of those things you don't think of until you need it. Wanting to rotate something around a specific point can be problematic in certain circumstances.
                    In this example you can see the whole group is off-center from the wanted rotation point and the normal rotate tool can be difficult to position on the very center. So by opening the group you can select all the groups and components and use the Move tool to rotate them all using the Wheel component's rotation handles.

                      You need to get out more I reckon ๐Ÿ˜„ Come visit.

                      PS: I have never understood the inclusion of the word 'from' in your subject title, is this deliberately ungrammerely or simply bad grammer?
                      Or something else entirely, I s'pose.

                        It's just a play on words, think outside the box, things from outside the box... not the normal way of thinking. and my user name is box. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                            I must admit I'm struggling to see the grammar problem. But I'll take your word for it.

                                        I very much doubt that.

                                          Therefore, these things are 'Out of the Box'.

                                          Therefore 'FROM' not required.

                                          N'est Pas?

                                            I think the fact you are struggling with it explains the meaning of the title, it is a neither one thing nor the other. It isn't only out of the box it is also out of the box and even some stuff in the box. On that rather ambiguous note I'm for my bed (as they colloquially say in one of the places I have lived, dreadful grammar tho). ๐Ÿ’š
