Hi, I was thinking, maybe a system of guidelines for TechDraw (similar to Inkscape) could be useful.

Well, It is not like I am expecting TechDraw as powerful as Scribus.wandererfan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 12:08 pmDrag-able guidelines like inkscape look hard. A grid of horizontal and vertical lines on the page looks easy (easier?). Would that give you an 80% solution?

This is still the collection phase, let's discuss details later. There sure are some ideas concerning alignment and distribution of objects out there.

From the point of view of an Architecture workflow (as architect and thinking on FreeCAD Arch workbench), we generally take two directions:microelly2 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:04 pmDoes it make sense to invest the time in wirting a comfortable freecad-inkscape-communication instead of reimplement all that nice features of a svg editor into FreeCAD?
Once a communication exist we can benefit all the goddies of inkscape without more work.
We don't actually do any svg editing in TechDraw. TD will export Pages or individual Views as svg for beautification in another app like Inkscape. That could be refined to use appl to appl communication.microelly2 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:04 pmDoes it make sense to invest the time in wirting a comfortable freecad-inkscape-communication instead of reimplement all that nice features of a svg editor into FreeCAD?
