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've now tried that. Clunky, clunky! But with the aid of a few guide
lines and high magnification, I've made something near enough for now.
Thanks for the tip.
It would be nice to see something where the radius and angle of an arc
could be defined by keyboard entry, in the way position and rotation
can. Mind you, OOo seems not alone in this area - xfig and inkscape
have afaics a similar issue; I didn't try any of the $M packages :-}
When precise angles and dimensions were an issue, I used a macro to
produce the shapes. Seems silly, I know...
