In a recent posting I inquired >> Are there any not-too-expensive drawing programs for the Macintosh >> that permit direct numerical editing of points or coordinates (i.e., >> line vertices), and possibly other parameters, as _text_ (i.e., as >> numbers in a table or array)? I should have kept the various replies I got so I could summarize properly, but failed to do so. However, to quote a recent posting, the most common response was >Check out Claris CAD. It's allows you to do all this stuff. and this seems to be true. Some claimed that Canvas will also do this, but that's not really true: You can bring up an editable dialog box that will change the corners of the _bounding box_ for a Canvas object, and the angle for an arc, but that's all -- not the vertices associated with the object itself. There were also a few mentions of a pending program called IntelliDraw, but I've not been able to find any more details on this one. Thanks to those who responded whom I didn't already thank directly...
