Re: Help with Moulds Please
That's a lot of steps, Les!
I have seen that error message before but I cannot remember what causes it.
Look up Envelopes or Mold Tool in the Help file. I think you will find a suggestion or explanation there.
If not let us know and we'll probe deeper.

Re: Help with Moulds Please
Thanks for the reply Gary.
Yes, there were a lot of steps. I was trying to follow the steps which Tony Roberts had in his tutorial.
I tried a much simpler procedure - draw a rectangle, apply default mould, adjust 1 side, copy to clipboard, draw a second rectangle, select it with mould tool, click on paste envelope button, and still get the same error message. I also tried it with converting the second rectangle to editable shapes, and still received the same error message.
I did not see anything in the helpfile addressing such an error. The helpfile and the tutorial both say you should be able to copy a mould you've created and paste it to a new object. But something isn't working.

Re: Help with Moulds Please
Just tried something else. Instead of copy or cut (ctrl-c or ctrl-x) I clicked on the copy mould shape button and it worked fine. Now that I re-read Tony's instructions he does say to "click the copy icon on the infobar". I guess the copy button acts differently that the copy keystrokes. Not sure why. But it looks like I've learned another thing.
Thanks so much.
