Snapping edges during rotation? (AD)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I love all the improvements to snapping in the AD 1.5 beta! Just to be greedy, I would like to put in one further request - would it be possible to add snapping during object rotation?

 

In particular I am thinking of a scenario where one wants to align two objects in arbitrary orientations, both of which have straight edges. When I am rotating the second object, I would like it to optionally (maybe with shift modifer?) to snap to "key angles" - the angles where one straight edge of object 2 is parallel to a straight edge of object 1. Is this feasible?

 

Keep up the good work!!

 

Oliver.

There will be more snapping additions and improvements over time.  Rotation is one area which hasn't really been addressed yet.  I have some ideas...

That sounds great Ben, look forward to seeing what you come up with! Loving Designer. I'm a scientist, and I use it for making figures for research articles - I find it a vast improvement over what I was doing before. Just need arrowheads and a angle/distance standalone measuring tool (though the automatic measurements in 1.5b are already a vast improvement) and I'll be happy as a clam! :)
