I'll try it. For me the best experience used to be with 0.92 and since then it has significantly degraded, with counter-intuitive things happening all the time in the UI. One of the operations I find the most complicated is to place circles at specific positions. I only know how to adjust their size and left position but as I'm using inkscape to design drill positions, it's a real pain for me to have to mentally subtract the radius and the line width. And in general, I find everything related to movements, alignments and such particularly difficult, to the point that generally you have to find a video showing a trick to proceed efficiently.
- planede 3y agoYou can adjust the radius of a circle when the circle tool is selected. You can also place circles centered around a specific point by holding down shift while drawing them.
- wtarreau 3y agoThanks, that's useful! However that's one main issue with this tool, it's really oriented towards the UI itself. You're bounded by your mouse (or worse, touchpad) resolution to place the center and often in addition to wasting a lot of time, it's inaccurate. The convenient approach would be to place an approximate circle, then edit the center and radius and enter values by hand.
- AdamBelis 3y agoyou dont need to do mental math you can chang your bbox calcuations to use geometry preferences- tools - bbox geometry
- wtarreau 3y agoThank you, I'll try that. It's all but intuitive to have to touch bbox preferences just to edit the center of an object :-/
