-Shift Helpers in One Direction
+======Shift Helpers in One Direction======
+The metaphor of the //[[architect]]// in TAD is very useful. You know exactly what is happening where. All dimensions, values etc are based on the location of the architect.
+To help this //architect// we have two helpers. One is red and square -- that's the first helper. The second one is a tiny blue circle. These two helpers are //always// found on two adjacent corners of some object or the other
+TAD allows these helpers to be shifted around in two ways. One method would relocate the two helpers in the clockwise direction and the other will do so in the anti-clockwise direction
+//hmmm...errr... which action would be clockwise? and which anti-clockwise?//
+TAD is written to ignore orientations and so really the orientation of the objects may not matter as such. But internally, the mathematical truth is that it depends on how that object was internally constructed.
+In some situations you may need to set an object orientation...(or if this worries you)...then you can reset an object to be clockwise or anti-clockwise thru a context-menu you get when you right click inside the object list)
