You have to be Online during the first installation of Canvas 11. The installation procedure seems to connect to the ACD server and downloads the installation file (or a verification). That is meant by "source". It should install rather smoothly if and when you are online. After that, you will find the insatllation files somewhere in your user folder under "downloaded files". Should you ever be in need to re-install, that file will work without being online during the installation routine.

Have you tried any freeware apps?  I personally can't recommend any as I haven't tried any.  A web search pointed me to one called IcoFX.  If icons with transparency was my objective, I'd probably give it a try... but that's me :D Ivar Grunnaleite on "Easily resizing arrowheads?" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/easily-resizing-arrowheads#post-44242 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:37:08 +0000 Ivar Grunnaleite 44242@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I find it convenient often just to change the line stroke of the arrow to increase arrowhead size. This will increase the thickness of the line defining the arrowhead, so it has larger impact for the arrowheads increasing in all directions, than for the line which is only increasing as one single line.

As I move the selection tool arrow around little yellow squares pop up in odd places. They look very useful and important but what are they?  Advanced features I'll meet a hundred pages from now? Something I missed ten pages ago? Just to be clear, they are not the bounding box handles or the various icons that the tool icons turn into. They often pop up near/on an object close to an object I'm about to work on.

If I have finished my map I just select all and rotate to suit. If I think I'll need to add stuff later I make a copy of the job and use that to import into then copy and paste to the rotated drawing including something I can index it to once copied over. Obviously set scale is an issue to in this. The real draw back is the export function is useless as it isn't correctly referenced. Its something that should be included as an (obvious) option. midimid on "SWF distortions" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/swf-distortions#post-43049 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:55:46 +0000 midimid 43049@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Firstly, what is the difference between saving a SWF as "for players" vs. "for editors"? Secondly, I have a map project that I'm moving to Flash.  In order to do so, I'm decompiling the SWF that Canvas outputs so that I can edit it in Flash.  The resulting file looks great - I make my movie clips and build. However, some of the shapes in the resulting SWF are distorted.  You don't see the distortions in Flash itself, only when the SWF is built and I zoom in (which I will need to do - thus the usefulnesss of being in vectors).  I also see no distortions from the decompiled SWF - its only after I've converted the shapes to MovieClips.  The distortion I'm seeing is sort of a slight horizontal skew to the left by about 6 degrees. Has anyone run into anything like this?  Is it a bug? Any other thoughts on doing what I'm trying to do?  Perhaps some other software that can easily convert shapefiles to Flash? midimid on "Rotating with GIS" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/rotating-with-gis#post-42992 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:31:45 +0000 midimid 42992@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ A bit of a noob at this.  I've imported a number of shape files and can scale the document and change projections without affecting the lat/long coordinates, but no matter how I try to rotate my map, the coordinates end up changing.
