Now I need to experiment with scale. so for anyone else, the X and Y are the distances, in the same units as your shape, from the top ...

Hello, I'm interested in creating Drawings from my shapes. I understand that the Drawing functionality is a work in progress to an extent. Often when I put something in a Drawing (using Draft->Drawing), the view is placed off the drawing page (e.g. when the shape is placed at a large radius relative...

are you sure nothing is added? No I take it back, the first syntax has in fact worked, I was obviously confusing myself somehow.
