Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to modify the coordinates of an already placed shape in Allegro? For example, changing the coordinates that define a rectangle. The most I've been able to find is right clicking the selected shape and clicking "Show Element". This brings up a text box with the exterior boundary that defines the rectangle's dimensions. But you can't change the values...
I am working on drawing footprints.
It seems terribly inefficient to have to type in the coordinates to draw a new rectangle and delete the old one, especially if you just accidentally type one coordinate incorrectly... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Shape->Select Shape or Void then click on the shape to edit. Small boxes will appear at each vertex of the shape. Click on the vertex you want to change. You can drag it or type in absolute or incremental coordinates.
