Hi again,

it's 1:32 am here and this is just to confirm my interest before I go
to bed.

If I understand "offset tools" correctly as a means to duplicate or
shift elements of a non-atomar object in the direction of one
coordinate, and even when given a 3D-form, then what would be different
from the "parallel-line" feature, which is already existent?

Thank you. Even if I am erring above, the RS_ActionDrawLineParallel and
its context should give me some understanding of what will be needed.

In summary, maybe a collaborative approach would be better than me
trying and find out where I have been wrong afterwards. ;-) On the
other hand, if the feature is not urgent, I might like to
do the research.

Only one provocative question at the end of my day: in the LibreCAD-era,
will the code be commented in plain English ?

Have a good night all,

Michael.

I think a person's worth is measured by nature, in her own terms, not by joining a clique of mutual praise with no connection to reality. (Paul Lutus)
