00:07 <InPhase> AlpineDude: Yeah, in the nightly release.

00:08 <InPhase> AlpineDude: If you don't want to install the nightly, the old trick I used to use is to turn on the crosshair in the menu options, turn on Orthogonal mode, click the button to orient to the X, Y, or Z axis, and then zoom in to the target location until the corresponding crosshair coordinate value at the bottom of the window reaches sufficient precision.

00:09 <AlpineDude> Ah thank you very much! I will install the nightly build.

00:09 <AlpineDude> I will keep the trick in mind, or at least try it. those are all options I had no idea exist

00:13 <InPhase> It's good to know both. The crosshair trick is annoyingly slow, but it's actually quite flexible as a generalized concept.

00:13 <InPhase> slow and/or tedious.

00:14 <dTal> I just use newtons method to converge a measuring part

00:14 <dTal> i.e. place a circle at point 1, zoom in on point 2, adjust circle radius until circle intersects perfectly

00:24 <InPhase> dTal: Hmm. I suppose that works, if the preview is fast, and you know one coordinate.

06:49 <J24k2> inPhase the problem with the crosshair is that if you zoom outside the center to see if it fit -- the numbers are gone

06:50 <J24k2> would be great if the view translation is taken into account for the precision view

07:01 <guso78> I have Seen the issue too. Offen Happens after coming Back from screensafer of Double clicking Ingo the View multiple Times to Center the View.

07:03 <guso78> Of =or, Ingo= into

07:14 <J24k2> "Offen" ? - Ü  your  capitalization looks so German (but seems to be random) guess your brain is still a bit asleep

07:17 <J24k2> screensaver ..  originally capitals were used to stress something like *bold*  i like to use it That way.

09:15 <guso78k> J24k2 sorry, these are absolute bad auto-correction setting in my mobile, need to work on it.  hope that somebody was able to decrypt my message.
