Maybe I'm just missing something here, but that stack doesn't seem relevant.

There is lots of code in there for a number of things, but I am looking for a way to, for example:

set the tool to "graphic"
set the style of the templateGraphic to "rectangle"


then let the user draw in a window whose entire visible area is covered by a group. The tool seemingly ignores the fact that it is a "drawing" tool (rather than a "selection" tool) and tries to select the group rather than draw a new rectangle.



The group is not marked as opaque, currently has no objects within it (it is an empty group), is set to cantSelect, has both scrollbars, is visible, and covers all but a small part of the window, where I am dragging a palette along with the window (as a toolbar -- not a perfect solution, of course, but the best I've come up with so far given Rev's feature set in terms of the drawing tools).

Another example (but in browse mode) is how i make palettes draggeable...
just intercept (or pass) the mousedown except where you shouldn't (or
should)...

Subject: Draw over existing objects

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I am trying to set up an environment where I can use the
standard drawing tools (graphic, field, pointer) and draw
over top of a group, so that I can catch the new objects and
add them to the group myself.
I set the cantSelect of the group, etc., and that stuff is
working okay; however, when I try to draw over the group,
nothing happens.

Apparently, Rev automatically tries to select an object when
you mouseDown on it in pointer mode, even when you are using
the graphic tool instead of the pointer tool.  Thus instead
of starting to draw a graphic, Rev is trying to select the
group, but sees the cantSelect property and just decides to
do nothing instead.

Anyone know of a way to convince Rev to start the new graphic
rather than just sit there when I try to draw with such a
group underneath?

Rev 2.5, OS X.3.whatever, etc.

Thank you!
