This is not correct. The Right view just looks lower because it has no "Arc Center Marks". I was looking at the frame only.

Re: Distances in Projection Group
But why then don't we see the same issue in the Right-Front-Left row?

Ok I get it.wandererfan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 2:40 pmThe screen grab shows you have "Auto Distribute" checked. This will position the Views based on the bounding rectangles of the largest View in each row/column. The SpacingX and SpacingY values modify the calculationed positions, generally to more widely space the Views.kaktus wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 7:29 am The Projection Group panel has options for specifying the position of individual projections among themselves.
The "Spacing X" option works fine for me. However, the "Distance Y" option is a real magic.
Determining the vertical position of individual projections has nothing to do with the declared parameter.
But if the automatic distribution option is active then the following values should be unavailable and the algorithm should place the projection images in the proper place by itself.
However, when it is disabled, the placement should be based on the specified values.
In my opinion, this is intuitive.
At the moment, when I turn off the automatic distribution option, the fields for determining the distance X, Y are no longer active. It is not possible to enter spacing data.
This probably should not work this way because it causes confusion. This is, of course, my point of view.
The program either places images automatically or you enter the spacing values based on which the distribution takes place.

Re: Distances in Projection Group
Spacing only applies as an adjustment to AutoDistribution. If AutoDistribution is off, then the position of the secondary views is based on the X, Y properties.kaktus wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 3:44 pm But if the automatic distribution option is active then the following values should be unavailable and the algorithm should place the projection images in the proper place by itself.

Perhaps the names should X Adjustment, Y Adjustment, with the tool tip changed accordingly?
Re: Distances in Projection Group
If this is to work as you explained to me, then yes, the names and tooltips need to be corrected.
But I would also like you to think about the actions I wrote about.
Rummaging around in parameters is cumbersome if we have nice options available.

Re: Distances in Projection Group
I should have explained better. In the mentioned row the Front view is the widest. If the size of this view is used to space the other views in the row you would expect more space between f.e. the Right and the Front view. Comparable to what you see in the image between the Front and the Top view.

Re: Distances in Projection Group
Something isn't right. The views should be centered on a grid with big row x big column spacing. I'll have a look.Roy_043 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 8:04 pm In the mentioned row the Front view is the widest.

Should be fixed by git commit fb1a7af360

Thank you.
