@chris fullmer said: LayOut has no ruby interface, so it is not possible through ruby. The Google team would have to implement that. And yes, they could if they thought enough people wanted it! Ha, deception ! So what to do? Build a huge list of people wanting either ruby in LO or the feature in next version. I do think it was mentionned quite a few times in the last LO wishlist survey.

I gave another shot at the file and succeeded in making it work on any text string of 1, 2 or 3 characters.

I only go to the scrapbook once Dave to set the line tool parameters with the style sampling tool. After that it's a simple process of click & drag to create the curve tangent from the text box and then double click at the end point. No editing required; plus you can add extra points if you need to get around those bits of the drawing you need to keep clear. And for the OP the process would work just the same but just click (don't drag) so you get straight line segments.

yes on 10.8.4 as well. "Allow applications downloaded from" is set to -Mac App store and identified devs.. euh.. why

Ah I see now ! Thanks OK let's all start over. (mariocha)

Oh, thanks. I missed that. And actually, the Hidden Geometry is there also. Gee, I'm confused... That'll teach me not to post so early in the morning. :esmile: (mariocha)
