Can I input measurements and angles for a shape?


Recommended Posts

Say I want to design a triangle, can I specify the length of each of the sides for example.

For example, how can I specify how long that line (stroke) should be? I know I can draw a stroke and make it horizontal then measure it, or indeed draw a stroke on the level of the right length and then modify the main shape etc etc.

But I'd like to be able to input ... Line Length A: 10mm Line Length B: 10mm ... whatever. hmmm

You can specify the width (length of the bottom line in your example) and the height in the Transform panel. You cannot specify the lengths of the other lines.

(Is there some reason you posted this in the beta forum? It doesn't seem related to new beta functions, so it's probably more appropriate for the general Questions forum, or possibly Feature Requests.)
