#245 New tool "Arc with given length"
New tool suggestion: draw a "pie shape" or arc with a given start angle plus a length of the arc. Plus maybe a (toggle?) button to give direction whether the pie should be drawn clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the start angle.

Account Deleted Well. maybe both, pie and arc? I'd need clockwise or counterclockwise whether I'd like to draw "right" of the start angle or "left" of it.

Or you can use negative value of length instead.
-
Account Deleted That'd be possible, too, yes.

Using negative value of length makes sense if you're into the math aspect of this project. This wouldn't bother me, however...
From a more general user perspective, and in order to accurately reflect the work being done by this tool, the UI dialog should accept positive lengths and direction should be indicated as either 'clockwise' or 'counterclockwise'.

Account Deleted I'm a "math" person myself, I'm afraid. But good point Susan. I'd opt for that clockwise-counterclockwise thing then.

Why to do this if we show direction on scene for each arc?

Do you want "pie shape" or an arc?
What do you need this?
