--- Comment #4 from Gerhard Mesenich <[email protected]> --- @Regina: Thanks for the F8 trick, new to me, very helpful! The hint should go into the popup help. I also strongly support your further wishes. @Owen: The arc and circle functions used to be well hidden in the in the Toolbars menu and were usually only be detected by good luck or intensive study of the manual. However with 4.3 the Drawing toolbar settings seem to have been greatly improved and it's now there, if I haven't set it myself as the first thing I always do :). After straight line drawing this is the second most important function for any type of formal drawing. Some further clarification: With compass mode a drawing compass is meant, the thing with the two legs and pin and pencil, used for geometric drawing (Zirkel in German). It should not be confused with a navigational compass, which also is round, but wouldn't make any sense here:). A 'compass mode' could probably be added as additional function, to not break anything for users prefering or used to the current procedure. Suitable icons (freeware?) for some initial testing and as example can be found here: http://findicons.com/icon/562850/compasses http://findicons.com/icon/562856/tools1 The rationale of the suggestion is to model the behavior to a tool everybody knows, so drawing can commence intuitively and efficiently without any second guessing. Simple formal drawing is the natural most common usage of Draw, which now is unnecessary complicated; mainly only for a much to steep learning curve of the program. Draw needs some heavy tweaking to get usable for most common tasks; an efford most users most likely are not willig or capable to make.
