      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 😞

            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.

                              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

                                  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?

                                        I don't understand the problem... Again !! Grmbl.
                                        Can you try line below in the ruby console, please ?

                                        Math.cos(45.degrees)
                                        

                                        And these lines

                                        a = Geom;;Point3d.new(12.5,12.5,25.2)
                                        a[0]
                                        a[1]
                                        a[2]
                                        

                                        On each line, can you give me the results, please ?
                                        Thank you again for your patience, Edson!

                                            Edson: you wrote 0 = Geom:: and 1 = Geom:: . That's not what he wanted. Just type exactly what he listed.

                                            First:

                                            a = Geom;;Point3d.new(12.5,12.5,25.2)
                                            

                                            Then

                                            a[0]
                                            

                                            and so on.
