Hello

Just noticed that the co-ordinates for the background picture are still limited to x = 99999, y = 99999 rather the full grid layout of 131072 x 131072. Anyone know of a work-around?

Regards

Sorry, your are right. However, the limit refers only to 5 digits in the dialog box to alter the values. Internally it seems to work well even with higher values.

As workaround, you may edit the layout file directly:

You need an editor software that can handle UTF-8 coded text files in the right way. For instance, the Notepad++ editor software works fine. The normal Notepad included with Windows does not work, at least in Win7. I also do not recommend to use any Office or text processing software because it mostly will add some formatting info. If there are options to select the text file format to open/to store, use "UTF-8 without BOM".

How to do:

• Make a security copy of your layout file
• Close BAHN, or check that your file is actually not opened in BAHN
• Open the layout file in the editor
• Search for "<HgrBild". This should be found if there is already defined a background picture in this layout.
• In the next line you should see the current values of the co-ordinates: k3="x0, y0" dx_el="delta x" dy_el="delta y".
• Alter the values as you need. x0,y0 is the center position, dx and dy define the lengths in x and y directions.
• Save the file and try to open it in BAHN

I hope this could help, Regards

Guten Abend/Good Evening
I don't want to start now topic, I ask here.
Is anybody have problem with bahn and Windows 10 - exactly the problem with speed of cursor (bar) in windows "Stored cursor position" and "Messages".
I used earlier Vista was OK. Now, in Win 10/64 bit, bar changes position down/up very slowly in that windows. No problem with speed in layout area.
I try changes preferences in registry ect. without give effect.
Maybe someone knows solution? The problem exist in v. 3.88 too.

Best Regards.

Hello,

Actually I don't know a reason for this problem. It seems that something is incompatible with Win10 (or Win10/64 only) concerning the dialog boxes. I will look for it, Thank you for information.

Best Regards.
