Sorry, I didn't explain myself well. The switches are rectangular, and need holes which are 11mm x 13.55mm. I need to be able to get those dimensions correct. Then I need to be able to place them at different angles and positions. How do I type in 11mm x 13.55mm? > You go to 'Draw' -> 'Con.

I'd just write a program which modifies the XML, but XML is a four-letter word. Have you considered using a file format with less useless gunk? Does PythonCAD have the concept of an object? If I save a file with objects selected, do they remain selectd when I reload the file? -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | When immigration is Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | outlawed, only criminals 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | will immigrate.
