Why these 2 functions "tangent" have not the same menu
The Button Enable/ Disable "Repeat" ?

Hi Pilou, I don't quite understand this one, do you mean that you see the repeat checkbox for one, but not the other one?

Over here both of them seem to work ok with the repeat checkbox...

I don't know... Most likely a bug!

But I don't see the same behavior over here, the checkbox is showing up for both of them on my machine.

Which is the one that doesn't have it for you?

Curious seems that I dreamed !
Maybe the fact that one (arc) say pick piece to keep not the other :)

So other little question :!)
Why it's not possible to draw a Circle "tangent" (with function circle tangent) between 2 rectangles aligned (or not) or inside one rectangle?
Even "separating" these rectangles: a side separated it's not a curve?

Hi Pilou, this seems to work over here:

Are you possibly clicking on the same line for both picks? The way circle tangent works is it needs to have 2 different tangents, it won't work when 2 picks are both on the same line segment - there are an infinite number of circles tangent with the given radius to the same line. However, you can use Circle/Diam to draw a tangent circle to a line in this case.

> a side separated it's not a curve?

Yes, a side of a rectangle that has been separated is a line curve object just as if you had drawn it with the line command.

I see - the tangent tool is for circle tangent to 2 curves of a specified radius.

When you move your mouse around, you are specifying a different radius all the time.

But in these cases there is only 1 possible radius that will work, that's why it looks like it isn't working, because if you ask for a circle of radius 1 unit for example, it cannot fit one in there.

But even if you get the right radius, I guess it still might not work because there are an infinite number of tangent circles of that radius that can slide between those 2 curves, I think it might not find it in this situation also.

Yes don't work inside the rectangle :)

And it's that which is pertubating because that works between these curves !

(infinite solutions too) (must be disable snap tot the grid)

Most of those don't have infinite solutions for one specific radius, except the top one if those are exactly concentric arcs...
