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 :
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 -
...good tool,thanks!

THANKS A LOT Matt666, will do!

Thank you

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

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.

Salut Malaise ! Qu'entends-tu par là ? what do you mean by this?
-
Salut Matt
Je pensais aux autres systèmes de coordonnées ( cylindrique, polaire )
Un maillage polaire au sens cartographique par exemple...Merci de ton attention
Translation:
I thought to polar grid like the one found on maps.

wow, can't believe i missed one of Matt's plugins!

Matt
Simple but powerful.Thanks, I'm digging a big hole in anticipation of throwing out all my cad software.

Matt:
1st. Thanks!
2nd. Seems to have a problem. I typed in " 100**'** " and it drew a line 8'4".
Perhaps the %(#FF0040)[****'****] character is the problem?Regards, John

Hi ! I think This plugin doesn't support Feet / Inch units... I will have a look !
-
sorry, but it does not work for me on mac.
i click on the icon, it asks me to specify the first point, which i do. then a dialogue box appears for me to enter the length and the angle. i do do that and click OK. nothing happens!
what else should i do? any ideas?
