Array and Constraint commands are left out

Why Array and Constraint commands are left out while making of this software???

These are also an important commands which should include in Modify menu

It is very length process to make POLAR or RECTANGULAR array in LibreCAD.

For a polar array use simply Modify -> Rotate, not Move/Rotate or Rotate two.
E.g. for a 6 hole flange pattern, draw the first circle, then rotate, check multiple copies = 5 and 60° rotation angle.
This creates a 6 hole polar pattern, assumed that you select the correct rotation center.

For X/Y Arrays create a block. Then on inserting this block you can specify X/Y counts and offsets.

Re: Array and Constraint commands are left out

I already did what you suggest by ROTATE command but this only works for POLAR ARRAY...

Still I have a questions about RECTANGULAR and PATH array similar to AutoCAD. Since rectangular array is essential for Structural works where it is used very often, so what am I missing?

Thank you for suggestion.
