          NEW FEATURES: with LibFredo6 4.5- 08 May 12

          If you upgrade to LibFredo6 4.5, you will get two new features for the Free Rotate tool (and other tools based on rotation such as Box Rotate, Twist, Free Planar Shearing).

          These new functions are largely inspired from Jeff Hammond's mini-challenge.

          1. Rotate with Offset
            In the SU Rotate tool and previous versions of FredoScale Free Rotate, the inferences are only done about the base line of rotation. This makes difficult to perform rotation when the target point to infer is not on the base line.
            In the new version of Free Rotate, there is an extra step where you can select a target line at a certain offset to be used for inference. This is shown on the video below.

          Free Rotate - Rotate with offset.gif
          Note that this step is proposed by default in Free Rotate (just click again if you don't need it) and as an option for other tools (via a long click).

          1. Inference on line
            The typical situation is to rotate a line until it exactly touches another line. This is a typical limitation of the SU Rotate tool which does not provide inference for this case.
            Free Rotate now proposes this inference.
            This is an old request from Daniel S, also mentioned by Jeff in his mini-challenge.

          Free Rotate - Inference on line.gif

          Please see this post for downloading the latest version of LibFredo6.

              Have you got the supporting 'Fredo Lib' file/subfolder downloaded/installed as explained on the download page ?

              Have you activated the tool under Window > Preferences > Extensions > FredoScale ?
              Have you then activated its toolbar from View > Toolbars > Fredo Scale ?
              Have you then got the menu item Tools > Fredo6 Collection > FredoScale ... ?

                do you also have the Fredo file library, which has a link found in the first post, that you need to use the plugin?

                    This is an Excellent Plugin that I would recommend to anyone and everyone who might ever need to create organic shapes such as boat sails and/or tensile roof structures and the like.

                    It is extremely easy to use and works very well.
                    The fact that it is Free is also amazing because it certainly does have value and will save you tons of time regardless what you are trying to create with it.

                    Thanks again so much for sharing this excellent Plugin as well as for continuing to make improvements/updates.
                    😎

                          Looks like a bad install.

                          Show us a screen shot of your Plugins folder as well as one showing the contents of the folder called FREDOSCALE_Dir_22. It appears you haven't got _loader.rb inside that folder. If you didn't get that one in there, you probably have others you didn't get in there, too. Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread and take a look at the sticky post about installing zipped plugins.

                            Thanks, I did a new install and now it is ok. But I have another problem. I'd like to have Toolbar of FredoScale. I have the check of FredoScale ON in View -> Toolbars but I have nothing. Thanks

                              Perhaps your install still isn't correct. Did the toolbar icons get extracted to the right folder? Did you check the box for FredoScale under Extensions?

                                    It may come from a conflict with another plugin: Podium (some versions), Matchbox, Sun Position, may be others.
                                    Did you try the Bend functions and do you get a bugsplat too.

                                            Roberto, these DB images do not load here this way (it actually links to a page where they are inserted). Could you rather attach them to your post?
