- In a recent posting I inquired

- 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...
