Why do you think that adding one more item to the drop-down list or one more button to paddle's tool settings widget (the usefulness of which has already been widely discussed so let's not question it here) would force you to change anything in your workflow ? You don't have to press these buttons and they won't occupy any space where other tools could be located.
I think that is exactly what I said. However, the discussion above talks about requiring modifier keys, including comments on whether the old method or the new method should be the default.
There was a lot of discussion several months ago when Paddle first proposed his changes. The initial proposal included replacing numerous icons and changes to operations. That idea was quickly shot down, and I do not believe the current proposals include forcing long-time users to re-learn their habits.
not sure if a 3 point parallelogram is that usefull.
- Mainly the usage in compared to just rectangles is really low (and so easy to forget)
- the number of steps that you gain is max 3 (with horizontal / vertical sides it you gain nothing anymore)
(from start: 4 clicks poly line, 2x parallel, 1x angle, 5 x dimensions - From 3 point parallellogram: 3 clicks parallelogram, 1x angle, 5x dimension)
I think that if there comes a implementation that it looks for parallel lines (just like now for straight lines) make much more sense to put time in.

3 points rectangle/parallelogram is advancing well.
It's quite complex due to the numerous options of the rectangle tool.

Hi @paddle ,
That‘s how I would solve the problem;
Hi @balrobs
Thanks !
Though I'm having trouble reading as the picture dpi is too low.
Could you type the solution directly in the post please?
Thanks !

Cool
Will there be a 3 points by center mode in addition to 3 corners mode ?
Yes. Here's a preview of the tool. I changed to icons for the mode and it looks great IMO.

I wasn't sure about that. But in the end 3 points rectangle is a restriction of 3 point parallelogram. And it will be easy to snap to 90 to get a 3 point rectangle. So I thought it would be better.
