      Dear Matthieu,

      Thank you for the script. Up until now I have had to use the protractor to set the angle before drawing a line. A nice icon combining the pencil icon and the protractor icon would be nice too.

      Kind regards,
      Bob

            Dear Matthieu,

            First, thank you for making the icon. As we say in the UK, it is just the ticket.

            I have no means of opening a .rar file, so could you post it as a .zip file?

            Kind regards,
            Bob

            PS Can anyone recommend a program for opening .rar files?

              watkins..
              winrar would be the best option.. but u could always go for the free 7zip extractor

                    Activate toolbar by clicking on Menu View>Toolbars>polar line.

                            In the rar file your have three files (two icons and the script). Just copy the three files in the plugins folder. Don't make any folder ! 😉

                              Wow! We'll need a better interface to manage all these plugins. Another SU7 wish list item. Thank you Matthieu!

                                Yep. you also can manage these plugins yourself... this is what i do.... For the moment i hope !!

                                In another post, an improvent has been asked...
                                a rotation of the line after creation.
                                Like that :Sans titre-1.jpg

                                What do you think about that ?
                                Because I don't want this plugin become too complicated 😞

                                  👍 good idea, may be, could we draw later a polar grid....
                                  😄 Merci Matt

                                    More update ideas: perhaps an option to draw the line on the plane of a selected face? it would make drawing weird lines a lot easier.

                                    And a little thing, could you update your first post with the .rar version of the script?

                                    Cheers for the useful script none the less 👍

                                      Dear Matthieu,

                                      Perhaps I'm being a little dense, but why would you want to rotate the line after creation?

                                      Is the line copied first and then rotated?

                                      Regards,
                                      Bob

                                            Why not, but give an angle depending on what Trigonometric origin?
                                            Originally trigonometric drawing or side of the longest edge of the selected face ?

                                            To creat a 3d polarline ! I think it's too complicated (not to develop, but calculate two angles in two different 2d plans). Or easier to rotate yourself after line creation.
