      ERROR !
      After using the plugin several times, I can't use it anymore. Every time I click OK on Parameters input box, it reappears. No error message, no error in Ruby console. It's a loop. Dialog disappear then is back... and so on.

      EDIT: -it happened in the model I was working in. It didn't fixed after close and open. But in new model it worked. It seems that something that was saved inside the model while using the plugin, caused the bug.

        Is this what you are trying to draw?

          The most likely reason the dialog box keeps reappearing is that you have not entered a valid point for the curve origin. SU will not accept a ~ in any coordinate in a point - each value needs to be exact. The plugin could be friendlier in this regard.

            Indeed I selected a guidepoint and its coordinate was with ~ . And the worse part was that if unselected it, hoping that the spiral to appear on origin, the previous value was retained in the inputbox, so I was triked again by the plugin. Maybe some fixes on that?

            And yes, that is what I wanted to draw... after some trials and errors I got it (about one hour of playing). But I did it in a different manner, I don't know if that was the correct approach, or yours... I just changed the values until I noticed a pattern πŸ’š.
            I still don't fully understand what are all that fields in inputbox. So many radii, turns, first turns, second turns... i'm dizzy 😲 . I tried to find the answer in the manual, but I couldn't.

              By design, the plugin remembers the previous inputs - including erroneous ones.

              Perhaps the interactive versions of these tools will be more to your liking. Have you tried the Curve Maker sub-menu on the Draw menu? They might also help you understand what the dialog boxes are prompting for and the additional degrees of control that the dialogs offer.

                The Curve Maker plugin has been updated. It can be downloaded from http://www.drawmetal.com/download

                Given the current Length Units Format, if a guide point coordinate's value can only be approximated (i.e. it displays with ~), then Curve Maker will now display the coordinate value as a decimal length. This should mitigate the problem that dereeei experienced with the curve origin field in the input dialog.
