Is there a way to color by counties/fill in with DRA?

[Karpatsky]

I'd like to play around with this tool, but I can't figure out how to district on any level other than precinct, which is a slow way to start. Is there any way I can start off assigning by county, for example?

Also just in general, what's the best way to use DRA? I've been using it with IE and it lags horribly.

Hold down control and drag your mouse to select a big rectangle. Then it will fill in all the precincts inside the rectangle rather than just a single precinct at a time.

As for the best way to use it, it only works in IE for me, and it crashes/lags a lot particularly with California (which is basically unusable).

I can't seem to get the CTRL-drag to work - is there any particular setting I need to set?

I think its z-drag, not CTRL-drag.

Also, you need to already be set in the color mode and not the scroll mode.

That did it. Thanks, this is a lifesaver.

Double-click on a precinct and continue holding the mouse button down after the second link. That should enable the mouse drag and color feature, where as long as you continue holding down the left mouse button, you can drag the mouse across whichever precincts you want and they'll automatically color. Sometimes it takes a time or two for the app to register it, or requires you slightly moving the mouse as you double-click.

Sometimes the CTRL+drag function discussed above won't work until/unless you have double-clicked and held down the mouse on a precinct, instead, zooming in when you do CTRL+drag. Try what I described in the first paragraph and see if that helps: the CTRL+drag features does work, but it's a bit glitchy at times.

I apologize if this is a silly question, but where can I find this DRA?  I haven't been on this message board in a while.
