[libreoffice-users] Set JRE in LibreOffice

2018-05-22 Thread Thomas Blasejewicz

Good morning
I recently upgraded to 6.0.4.

In recent versions a java runtime environment was set up automatically 
or I did that manually.

For example on a Windows 7 notebook
-> tools - options - libreoffice - advanced -> Java options
location: C:\Program Files\Java\jre xxx

However in 6.0.4 the Java options box is empty and when I try to add the 
jre:

location (Windows 10): C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jre xxx

I get the error message:
"The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment. 
Please select a different folder."


Actually there are TWO jre versions, both cause the same error message.
The Java version on the computer is the newest one available.

Is there a trick to it, or does 6.0.4 does not use JRE any more?
Thank you.
Thomas

Thank you, Regina! I am experimenting.


Draw has a lot of features. In case you get stuck, simple ask. Here are 
lot of users with ideas.


 In the meantime I found freeCAD

but it is not meant to my level of knowledge.


Here an idea: Draw a ring. That is in Basis Shapes. Draw a rectangle as 
"tube" in the desired length. Bring it in front of the ring and move it 
so, that is covers only one side of the ring, but does not reach to the 
opposite side of the ring. Copy the rectangle to clipboard. Select 
rectangle and ring together, right-click. From this context menu use 
item Shapes > Subtract. Now you have cut a part of the ring, so that the 
gap nicely fits to the "tube"-rectangle. Paste clipboard to draw the 
"tube"-rectangle again. Move the rectangle so that it covers both sides 
of the ring. Send rectangle behind the ring. Mark both and group it. Now 
you can rotate and move the drawing.


Kind regard
Regina

Hi all,

I've never used Draw up to now, but I got a task and thought I could do
it with that. I am reading and viewing tutorials but did not find the
method for the following: how to overlap, combine, or be it called
something else, two objects.

I mean for example: how can I draw a tube that is pushed into a ring.


That would be possible in 3D and Draw is able to have true 3D objects. 
But the UI is so bad, that I do not recommend it for beginners in Draw.


You will likely need to make a "fake" 2D drawing.


Ok, I could do it by drawing two tubes, one is above, the other is below
the ring, but can it be done in a simpler and cleverer way?


I would draw one tube and do not use a closed ring, but an open one, 
which touches the tube at its open part and lays in front of the tube 
at the opposite side.


Of cause you can build union, combination, or group of objects. But it 
will not be possible, that one part of an object is in front and one 
part is behind another object in 2D.


Kind regards
Regina
