I'd like to build an application containing draggable clip art, when user drags a picure, it remain intact in the library to be dragged many times as desired by the user (as many applications in the market). I was wondering if this can be achieved or maybe a workaround of it?
Same as flow chart applications, when you choose a shape from the palette and drag it to make your flow chart, you can repeat same procedure infinite times, the shape library is there all time. Wha tyou think?
I will appreciate a lot your help here. My project will be empty manufacturing templates (backgrounds) and buttons which would display libraries of pictures (machines). User must drag the picture and place it in the right position, BUT, some areas may requiere identical machines, so here is the thing. How can user drag a specific picture and repeat the process several times. I was thinking to overlap 100 of each and simulate it. I think that in other drawing softwares, when you "click down" to select a shape, in fact it is copied and then you release it, but I don't know how to do it here.
