Hi DesuDeus, from some of your other comments it sounds like you want a general tool to frame any selection of objects.

Something like that would be a more specialized "BoundingBox" command and would not be part of the drawing tools.

For a bounding box command you would not pick any points at all, you would just select objects, run "BoundingBox" and have it generate the frame - that kind of "generation from selected objects" is a lot different than a drawing tool.

Probably for the next beta release I can make a plugin for you that will do that kind of frame creation.

Look at my answer in the "line from center point" request, your answer about c-lines helped me.

Okey cool, but in your example you have a circle, you can use the quad of the circle to help you.
Show me with the "S" letter that Pilou showed, how do you do it fast?
A bounding box command would be perfect yes :) Even better if it works in 3d too :D
And also if it works with multiples objects, just like the scale/rotate gizmo that show up when you select objects.

Thanks again for the explanations.

Yes, but the reason that I had a circle there because your initial question in this thread was about a circle :)

You wouldn't really want to try and draw a rectangle manually around something like that with the Rect from center tool, you would want to have a command generate that for you.

Yes, it would be basically like making that scale/rotate edit frame but as an rectangle curve object if you had all planar shapes, or as a box if you had 3D objects.

I'll see about cooking up a special command for that for the next beta.

I should buy you cookies and ship them at you ;)
Thanks for all !
