Hello Honza and Everyone -
Please excuse my delay in answering your question about this writing  
in your Czech SignPuddle (see attached screen capture)...

You can attach a thumb line as you have already done, by finding the  
little lines in SignPuddle and attaching it...

May I ask what you are trying to write in the attached diagram?...  
The tips of the fingers of the left hand are pointing to the right  
corner of the room...and what palm facing do you think you are writing?

So please write again to tell me what palm facing you are trying to  
write in the sign for navrh typ...is it like the roof of a building,  
or a boat? Do you have a photo of what you are trying to write? Can  
you show me? Then we can discuss this in depth...

I look forward to reading your next email!

Once I am sure what you are trying to write, then I can show you how  
I personally would write it -

There is a good chance I would use the Heel of the Hand symbol, which  
is a totally different symbol...

Val ;-)
