Move By Specifying distance and Angle


Recommended Posts

Hi, recently downloaded this software and it's quite lovely compared to AI.

One thing I do miss is the ability to transform an object using just distance and an angle.

AI had this:

I say that I want to move an item 10 units 30 degrees (where 0 is just +Y and degrees go counter-clockwise). Based on this, AI is able to do trigonometric calculations and conclude that the equivalent translation is +5X and -8.66Y. More or less what this calculator does if you say "given a side and an angle".

There are online tools to do these calculations as well, but I just find it annoying to have to have a calculator on hand to essentially offset lines by a distance. Including this would be a great QOL improvement for my workflows.
