Rotating to a point

Post by GrowMate » Thu Jun 30, 2022 9:43 pm

QCAD permits parallel lines to be specified by distance and also to be snapped to any designated point. Could this facility be extended to the Rotate function so that a line could be rotated to a designated point? Currently it is necessary to first measure the angle required then input it which is a little long-winded and can introduce errors.

Please refer to the user manual about the rotation tool, steps 4 and 6 in particular:

That's marvellous Andrew - just what I want. However the arrow symbol is all too easily over-looked. Can I suggest a second box under Angle (a) called Indicate point to rotate to .. or something similar?
