I accidentally stumbled upon a way to get a third stretch option on an object in
draw 7 but forgot how I got it. Instead of the usual two options stretching side
to side or proportionally or rotation, there was a thirds option. arrows pointing
diagonally from the object that would allow you to stretch the corners at a 45
degree angle. Can anyone tell me how to find that option?
 
Do you mean the skew feature. If you click twice on an object's outline it reveals the rotation arrows at the corners of an object but it also reveals little arrows on each side of an object, they look like a small arrow with a head at each end. This allows you to click and drag to skew the object. Not sure if this is what you are referring to.
Hope this helps,
Joe
 
Thanks, But that's not the option I referring to. This option defiantly
had arrows in each corner that pointed away from the object at 45
degree angles. I believe there was also an arrow in each center
pointing straight out. You drag any arrow and only that part
dragged creating great affects. I'll keep searching. Dale
 
If it's not that then I'm just about stuck for an answer. The only other things I can think of is the distort mode on an object in Photo Paint, it has arrows at 45 degree angles at each corner but none anywhere else. If you click and drag on of these arrows it moves one corner of the image only.
The only other thing is the distortion tool in Draw, but I'm not sure if that was in Ver 7.
