        I use rollers, wheels and axles that I wish to add a guidelines though the center for alignment that will be part of the group. It would be nice, if I could draw a guideline between two points, maybe only 12" apart, and have the guide line that is drawn be the size as indicated in the measurement tool bar. So if I wanted to add a guideline to a wheel that is only 12" wide, however, I wish to have the alignment guideline to be 10' long, I could enter the 10' into the measurement tool bar, draw the line between the two center points that are only 12" apart, and have the guideline be drawn 10' long.

        So thank you for you plugin.

        OOPS. Didn't see that I could add the length to the guidelines in the VCB. My bad. So disregard the above.

          Weld Draw is working fine for me. It all works fine except my second request. But, beggars can't be choosers so I'm not complaining.

            thanks to TIG for tweaking again for squashing some bugs.

              Now Weld Draw doesn't seem to draw welded edges.

              Soft Draw will convert unsoftened edges to softened but doesn't draw softened wedges from the start.

                It seems it's only welding when aligned to an axis? Can you confirm?

                      Updated to v1.3

                      Note:
                      Weld Draw does not draw welded loops. It will also split if it intersects with any edge and get a little funky. It's primary function it to create a simple curve from drawn edges[lines]

                        Cool Rich, great job on posting a plugin. I'll never ever use it as I'm sure I won't understand its accent, but should be lots of fun to install just to hear it mock me and my modeling habits all the time 🤣

                        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                        Where does this plugin locate itself? I have it installed, the toolbar works fine but when I look in the plugins folder the PenTool+.rb or a folder holding the icons are nowhere to be found. I am confused (as usual).

                                          Look for a folder called 'rob_hsltool'

                                          The 'Draw' menu contains the modes of drawing also

                                            Not there that I can see. Weird. Here is my plugins folder and a screen shot of the toolbar active.
