Hello, I’m wondering if LightBurn has (or has considered) functions to create lines based on distance and bearing like CAD software has.
One example would be to start a line at a certain point and determine the length and angle from which the line would extend. I.e., in CAD, @15<45 would draw a line of 15 (units) at an angle of 45 degrees from the starting point.
If, for example, there were two circles of different sizes and I wanted to connect the two at their tangents, in CAD software, a user could select ‘line’ and then type “Tan” followed by clicking on the first circle approximately where the line would start and then enter “Tan” again and click on the second circle in the corresponding place, resulting in a line connecting the two circles tangent to their edges. “Int” could be used to start or end a line at an intersection. I think there were perpendicular and other functions as well. Snap functions have some limitations in these scenarios.
I would love to see this type of function in Lightburn. If there is some functionality that I’m not aware of or if others have ideas as to how they handle those situations, I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
