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

          Frenglish at its best !

                  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.

                                    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.

                                          👍 Simple but powerful.

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

                                            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?
