Idees to improves

[aldebaran]

Hi
a good idea  is to make knees to profile of lines because sometimes we want to print profile in paper height 0.30 m.
It must be good to have the selection of paper height and the scale of the drawing to choose.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean. Could you please post a new subject and be more detailed.
What command? Knee?

I think he's trying to say that the profile function should have a drawing scale option and the "knees" as he's referring to them are breaks inserted in the profile line with different base level so that the profile would fit into a less wider paper sheet.

by the way , it would be nice to have an option to chose the information to show  in the profile's box and the order it is put in.

As I mention before, it's hard to get time to add features to CadTools. Plotting profiles to AutoCAD isn't that hard but belive me there's a lot of code behind.

Suggestions for a "knee" and more options for labeling is noticed in my note book.

you can do a command that transforms arcs and circles in polylines formed by broken lines?
and one that converts ellipses in polylines
to export drawings into FEM programs or 3d programs.
please.......

This can be done with cadtools, look in the "Convert" commands.
Ellipses is not supported but there are some lisprutines on Internet to download.

You could try this, I have not tested it.
