Auto-size line
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 2:22 pm
Hi Eric
Realcadd is so good now (for what I do anyway) that there's almost nothing else left on the "wish list"!
One thing that I really would like to see is an Auto-size Line feature – preferably on the Attributes pane with all the other line features. This would insert the line length into the centre of the line. You can choose arrows etc to go with it as usual and attractions work as usual. This would make dimensioning things like the image below, where conventional dimensional tools aren't useful, very much easier and quicker. This image is just part of a longer drawing with 76 "auto-size line" measurements. It is delineating the developed shape of the first plank on a lapstrake boat hull and there are 12 more to do. You can see it gets tedious!
One very minor and unimportant issue is the Mouse Position pane – it would be nice to be able to move it about like all the others.
Cheers -- George
