Using CUT on whiteboard

[rooney72]

How can one cut a straight line with the cut tool when using a board? I am using Promethean. I have to use the shift and left mouse button which is not excatly what I need. I want full interactivity without using any mouse or keyboard.

You can get a ruler and use it as a guide for you finger.

Hope that was sarcasm Mystery.
but there should be way to do this, but none that I know of. That would be an important thing to have.

Unfortunately, there is no good way to do so (at v1.7.1 as well as I know). Though one way exists as Mistery wrote...

What is proper for linear cutter gesture ? Does the option button have to be implemented for this purpose?
I hope that someone make a good suggestion.

if I'm not mistaken there's a shift button on a smartboard?

wont work, pressure sensative remember

and i am unsure if there is a shift button on the smart boards
i will have to check
and even so that would be a pain

[Versieon]

there is shift on a smartboard, but Algodoo would have to have a way to tell it to stay pressed until you hit it again, otherwise it wouldn't work.

Sticky keys, maybe?

The grid should possibly be able to help you, but I understand your predicament.

[RicH]

I have an idea. The system should allow you to make two points, Algodoo will then make a line between these two points.

[Matten]

That should be included by the touchscreen-function.

We can draw straight line with sketch tool only when drowing something.
So I suggest improving the feature to cut objects.
