FWIW QCad has 3 pimary arc creation modes: 1. click1 sets center, click2 sets radius, click3 sets end point 1, click4 sets end point 2 2. click1 sets endpoint 1, click2 sets a point on the arc, click3 sets end point 2 3. click 1 selects a point of tangency on a line, radius set by dialog, click 2 sets end point 2
One mode of elliptical arc creation: click for center, click for axis 1/radius 1, click for axis2/radius 2, click for end point 1, click for end point 2. Not that pcb needs to or should follow QCad, just posting the info for reference. The "center/radius/end1/end2" method seems pretty natural and if PCB did only that it would cover a lot of ground. -dave > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > geda-user@moria.seul.org > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user > _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
