Hi guys.

New to LibreCAD, but used other packages in the past. My old software is having issues on new hardware so need to update to a more modern cad package.

I'm looking for a "adjust bulge" function. I have a arc in Librecad, and I can select and move the two endpoints, but how to I adjust the bulge, or move the center of the arc, while not moving the endpoints?

In my old cad software, I could select a point along the middle of a arc or line, then drag it in or out to change the arc, while leaving the end points where they were. I could also type in the new radius if I wanted to. Only the arc center point was changed, to suit the existing end point, and give a different curve. Very useful for free hand work, text, artistic stuff.

Thanks in advance.
