Dear Mike and all: There is an add-on to Oo Draw known as CAD00o. This gices you some limited CAD-Like macros, but they are a bit more awkward to use for a CAD experienced user than Autocad. But them they are free, not a matter of $5000 or More US$.
I do a lot of CAD-like stuff in draw, but I have to use quite a different approach from what I used in either Generic Cad or Autocad. Also the mathematical precision of Draw is somewhat limited, so don't expect results to 12 decimal places!

Ok, Thanks, that works; doesn't explain why customize 'View | Toolbars' shows no sub-menus. However... on to the /real/ problem. What I want to do is draw a circular arc, subtending an angle of exactly 45 degrees at a given centre. There seem to be no controls to adjust the angle.
