Hi Pilou!

> 3 Different colors for the basic "background curves" depending of the 3 axes?

Eventually this will be possible when there is stuff added to change object properties.


Re: Tangent

The circle tangent tool does something a little different - it gives a circle tangent to two curves, of the specified circle radius, it then calculates the points for you. This is different than using specified points.

To use specified points, you can use the regular Circle/Center and construction lines.

For a circle to be tangent to a curve at a point, it means that the center of the circle must be on the perpendicular from that point.

So to draw such a circle, start the Circle/Center tool, then drag out a construction line perpendicular from the first point, and drag another one perpendicular from the second point, and then the center will be where they intersect, but the solution is only possible if the intersection is of equal distance from each point.

But that is a lot of constraints, so if you just pick any 2 points I think that most of the time you won't find that there is a solution.
