When mouse is POINT SNAPPED just a click is ok to complete the line segment. And of course "45" need an amount of one second of thinking which is too much. So "50" is million times better than because and "<" need shift key and they are far one from another and you must left mouse to use 2 hands on keyboard. You must draw it INSTANTLY! Because you must draw THOUSANDS of lines. Seriously? A CAD programmer who never use AutoCAD before? I am a C++ programmer, and I have no time at all. I totally understand that there are no human resources. Write down more details and request that somebody who has an account create the feature request there. Without a Github account, the second best place is here. The best way for this is a precise feature request at Github issues. Only than we can check if the underlying implementation allows it at all and how much effort is needed.

You see, we need clear instructions to understand how a feature should work. Is this the same feature? Can you use mouse or cursor keys for this? What does 'almost' mean, where are the limits?
#LIBRECAD SNAP PERPENDICULAR HOW TO#
There are statements like 'AutoCAD does it this way' or 'AutoCAD does it better' from time to time.īut they don't contain enough details for a coder to estimate how to implement the feature and the efforts needed for it.Įspecially, when the coder never has used AutoCAD, what applies for many if not all contributing to LibreCAD.Ībout your request, I think I've heard something similar, where the cursor keys are used to define the direction.

for a horizontal line when you can just type 50īeside the lack of active coders, this is also a matter of missing clear feature descriptions.
