One other "klunky" issue is entering endpoints by hand for setting a line on the drawing. I believe this occurs because the inch measures on the attributes page are interpreted as feet. If using fractional inches and you must convert all of the fraction inches to decimal on the page otherwise, when you apply your changes the line will move in ways you did not expect and if it is a spline, it will become a very curvy spline. To change the characteristics of an element (a line or a curve) you access an attribute page. However, I've been using the fractional representation and it is somewhat flakey. With english units both decimals and fractions can be used when representing inches for example, 1.5 inches or 1 1/2 inches. The program supports both english and metric units, so I've been working in english units. Initially this is awkward, but it allows you to make multiple copies of a line, a specified interval apart, and parallel to each other. For example, to copy a line you do not use the copy command found on the edit menu, you use the move command found on the tools palette and specify the number of copies you want.
