I guess yes i am meaning a snap point that takes into account the y axis. So I can understand how that might make more confusion than it helps. It could come under the symmetry draw helper, sounds like a good way to group changes of tool behavior. I am interested in how that develops.
Another example of how to do this is the bend tool used in spaceclaim. Basically you draw a line the use the bend tool to drag it into an arc. You can also put numerical values in. This allows me to define the start end points and then drag out an arc to fit without the end points moving. This is quite cool because you can make a box for example then drag out some arcs to give it form without the corner points moving. Also this works on 3d solids in spaceclaim.
Hi Jamie,
Doesnt the Arc 3 point tool do this for you? I was fooling around with it a bit. If I know the angle, I can pick my start and end points then type the angle and it seems to do this? Please bare with me as i am following this along for my own benefit.
The tool does as you say, what i would like is for the start end point to be remembered so when it is edited the arc stays in place, see the picture. Hopefully it is clear. Good to have your feedback it is making it clearer what behavior i would like to see in arc tool. Maybe I'm going long way around to find out.All I know is I dont like to have to go and find the tool each time to redraw an arc when there is one there already which could just be adapted either by dragging directly or by numerical control.
OIC what your saying. Less about drawing it, and more about editing not working with a radius value. Draws the arc, arc shows a radius, but once edited it turns into a curve (Or endpoints grow.)
