I have used OpenOffice Draw to make simple drawings for years. It has been consistent and fairly logical. Now it has gone insane. I drew a rectangle. Then I drew a circle in the corner. Now if I select that circle, it always selected the rectangle on which that circle is placed. I sent the rectangle to the back and the behavior doesn't change. All I want is a rectangle with several holes in it.
Nor can I move those circles. It always drags the underlying (at the back) rectangle.
Have you tried the "Ungroup" command? Or the "Group" command is turned on in 'Preferences'.

Try LibreOffice. I think Open Office has been abandoned.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it isn't as good as commercial software. But I use it.
some CAD programs require you to designate a location on the rectangle and then it automatically places your hole. Most common is when your placing a series of bolt or screw models on a flange in a uniform pattern.
