Hi Martin, sorry I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you're asking about there - what is the "d(n) constrainer" ? You mean setting distance constraint that allows you to control the length of a line as you're drawing it?

It's somewhat tricky to stick too many extra things inside the right-click repeat mechanism because it can break other workflows. Like for instance if distance constraint itself repeated, would you then have to instead manually trigger the line command itself if you wanted to draw 2 lines in a row?

It could be possible to set up a script on a keyboard shortcut that would set a constraint of a specific value, if you need to use a specific distance value a whole lot that could be a way to repeat it quickly, let me know if you would like a script that would do that.

- Michael

Hi Michael, you understood me with the distance constrainer ... Thought there might be problems with the right click storing values idea, but the amount of effort is no different from clicking the line tool or whatever to break the constraint as there is in having to retype it all the time, but if it's not an easy implementation thing then it's no real problem as copy and paste and array tools suffice nicely but thanks for giving it thought.

Hi Martin, yeah right this moment it's not an easy thing to implement since the command repeat thing only repeats actual commands, setting the distance constraint is not quite the same kind of thing as an actual command.
