    Ok, so I got EQ6 thinking...great I can do so many things with this program. Well, It's proving to me that it's not easy to use, or at least it's not easy for me. I'm slowly getting things but I can't figure something out.

    Ok, when I'm working on a block on easy draw and patch draw I am only getting "snaps" on the left half of my block. I've read through the book and done everything it says to do and it doesnt change it. Help!!! It's driving me crazy. I suppose I could just deal with it but I shouldn't have to.

    Any help would be GREAT!!! Thanks in advance!

    Have you done the lessons in the book. I found out by doing the lessons, it was easier to understand than just reading the instuctions?

    Yeah, I did all the lessons. I think that is a must do unless you are one of those people that just know how to work a program on their own, I hate those kind of people...Just Kidding, jealous is all.

    I've searched the book and I couldnt find anything about this problem...I could have missed it, thats why I turned the board. I am going to check out the website from the post above after I take a break...getting overwhelmed I think!

    Beach Birdie, have you gone under help and typed in snap. It will show you a couple of screens. Looks like you can turn it of by checking a box. I went to Index typed snap and it gave me two options and shows examples. I hope this helps. Also have you watched the video on Patch or Easy draw?

    Noticed you Avatar, my husband has MS.

    Another quetion, does your precision tool bar show on top of your screen that has the button to turn the snap tools on and off? If not go under view and turn the precision tool bar on. See if you can turn the snaps on and off that way.

    Woo hoo, back at ya, I know how frustrating it can be, with EQ6, it does take time. I have to go back and review all the time.

    My husband has had MS since 1987, diagnosed when he was 37. He uses copaxone. We have been really lucky, he has relapsing remitting.

    Im on Copaxone too. I have chronic-progressive but my doctor said it wouldn't hurt to take Copaxone. I was diagnosed when I was 26...thankfully now we have great MRIs to know exactly what is going on then years past. Hopefully he's doing well!

    Thanks for the help...I was able to fix it, I dont know how but I was...lol :D
