Issue #621 new

This Dart tool has been talked about quite a bit for years, it never seems to make it into the issues list.

Dart on a line:

  • Select 2 endpoints of the line
  • Enter length along the line to create the dart midpoint
  • Enter width of dart to create the dart side points
  • Enter depth of dart to create the dart point
  • Enter angle of dart (default is perpendicular to the line)

Dart on a curve:

  • Select the curve
  • Enter length along the curve to create the dart midpoint
  • Enter width of dart to create the dart side points
  • Enter depth of dart to create the dart point
  • Enter angle of dart (default is perpendicular to the tangent at the dart midpoint along the curve)
  • Select the line endpoint of the curve towards which the dart will be folded

Result of the Dart Tool is four new points:
1 Dart point
1 Dart midpoint
2 Dart side points
