cropping question
I'm using C1 v11 and the documentation for cropping says you can "drag" a crop frame into the viewer and that it will show you the crop in the viewer, along with orange size numbers. I can crop but I have to set the crop ratio then go into the viewer and start dragging the crop handles to the size I want. It doesn't show dimensions and doesn't show me the selected crop ratio until I start dragging the corners of the crop frame.
The documentation (see below) says you can "drag" a crop frame onto the image. Can anyone explain to me how this is done?
Crop an image
1) Go to the Lens Tool Tab, or long-press the crop tool in the Cursor Tool Bar.
2) From the drop down menu, select the aspect ratio required or use the Unconstrained ratio, as desired. Note, the
Original option maintains the aspect ratio of the initial capture.
3) Drag a crop frame in the Viewer. Depending on your preference settings there will be a semi-transparent mask over the
area that is being cropped.
4) The orange numbers on the sides indicate the size of the cropped image.

If you want to draw out a crop frame, there are two possibilities
1) you can drag in the handles at the corner or the sides to get the crop you want. If you hold down Alt as you do so, the crop will change equally from the centre, if you don't hold in Alt, then the handle you drag moves and the opposite side doesn't.
2) you can press Shift before you drag and then you can start dragging from anywhere you like, not just the handles.
The orange numbers only appear when you start to drag.

Edited to add: I realise that holding in Alt as you drag to have it change from the centre is a new version 20 feature, so ignore that comment for version 11 or 12.
