Column Mode Load Drawing (Bug 2170, Change 42)

The following problems with column mode load drawing have been resolved:

The horizontal scale indicating the magnitude of the lateral loads did not always not appear if the window is maximized.

Axial and point loads did not show the load type if only point loads or axial loads existed for that type. The all load types except axial loads show the type of load to the left of all loads of that type if positive and to the right if negative. Axial load type is shown below the load arrow.

If Combine loads of same type was selected, and two or more axial loads of the same type are combined, and one of the axial loads is selected, the axial load was drawn to the left of the column rather than the top, and no magnitude was shown. The program should now shows the combined load at the top of the column as well as the magnitude of the combined load.

Axial loads are always combined in the drawing for column loads view, regardless of whether "Combine loads of same type" is checked.

The diagram did not print the magnitude of unselected axial loads if the axial load is not the selected load. Now all axial load magnitudes are shown.

Point loads with a negative magnitude are now drawn with the end point of the drawn arrow to be to the right of the start of the arrowhead. In previous versions of Sizer, point loads with negative magnitudes were drawn with an arrow such that the end point of the arrow was to the left of the arrowhead, and the arrow would often cross the column.
