Gary, Call me vain, but the counter images I've made to represent the facings are much better and sharper than the images created using the "rotate" trait. Guess I'm just a hopeless perfectionist in some respects. Also when using the "rotate" trait, the game program can slow down and become sluggish when large numbers of counters are used. That doesn't happen when just using the layer trait.

I'm just curious Dave as to why you wouldn't use a "rotate" trait on the counter with the reduced unit as the only layer? GJK At 07:14 PM 12/6/2006, you wrote: >I have a game where I have a counter with the "layer" trait with six levels to represent the six hexagonal facing directions. That works fine. But I want to be able to flip the counter to represent a reduced unit of the same type that also has the identical "layer" triats representing the same facing directions. I'm using the "replace with" trait and it works fine except the "replace" counter does not retain the same facing/layer as the original counter even though it has the identical layer traits levels. I checked the box that is supposed to retain the same traits but it doesn't work. According to the help info, the replacement counter should retain the same facing. Any suggestions? > >Thanks, Dave Briggs [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
