Improvements to the Line / Polyline tools

  • Double line : A double-line tool that draws two parallel lines at once, and they can be edited either together or independently. Ideally, not a separate tool from regular line tool, just a different mode or setting of the basic tool. Ability to join these parallel lines around a corner (the outer line joining to outer line, inner line to inner line). Or, ability to use the wall tool in a 2D viewpoint like a worksheet (walls are just zero-height).

  • Square ends option for lines – using a thick pen will round the ends of the lines, and a custom thick line needs to be created using multiple lines close to one another – which only joins at corners in one direction as it embeds a reference side.

  • Provide a 3D line option rather than relying on morph tool

  • Consolidate Line and Polyline into one tool – include:
    • ability to turn one or multiple outlines of a fill on/off and
    • ability to turn off individual or all segments of a polyline
    • ability to have different markers on each end of a line or polyline

About the last point "ability to have different markers on each end of a line or polyline", this is already on roadmap, see here

 

Also, about the "Square ends option for lines", I believe there is already a wish for that here?

thanks - since there's a demand for them and has been for a long time, hopefully these will happen sometime soon...seems like this can be part of an update rather than having to wait for "in several versions' time"...?
