When choosing for example Line, no line option is selected. It would be convenient if either of these were default:
1) first item in list (eg "line fron 2 points")
2) last used item
3) custom set item
(If customizable, options could include 1 and 2)

Re: Autoselected draw items
The "Line" button at the left represents the category of all line tools.
If you're looking for a way to speed up drawing, I'd strongly recommend to use key codes (e.g. press the "L" key, then the "I" key to start drawing lines.

Re: Autoselected draw items
Ok. Still, is there a good reason to have no default option? That is helpful in no case at all, while a preselected option isn't a problem when you want another one. In my mind.

I think darkg is suggesting a "user tools" macro facility?? Perhaps a user defined toolbar that performs user defined functions? Too caviar for me though.

Re: Autoselected draw items
Is there a good reason for you to stick to the CAD Tools menu even when you don't like it?
BTW: You are talking about to have the possibility of a default option to your favorite tool. Isn't a used shortcut a "default option"? Isn't a click on a tool icon in a toolbar a "default option"? Isn't ...
Howsoever - QCAD offers a handful different ways to launch a tool. For me more than I need ...
Menus - which are customizable,
Shortcuts - which are customizable, used on drawing canvas or command line,
Toolbars - which are customizable,
Tool Matrix - which are customizable,
CAD tools - which are customizable,
and even a Context menu which offers to use recently used tools again and again.
