Good morning

Maybee we don't necessarily need a constraint system for this...

For example, when dimensioning between two lines:

- Click on the 1st line
       An aligned dimension is directly attached to the mouse.
       The dimension can be dropped as normal.

      However, if you click on a 2nd line:
         The system checks whether these two lines are parallel:
         - If yes, an aligned distance-dimension is attached to the mouse.
         - If not, an angle dimension is attached to the mouse.

This is just a simple thought of mine, which you can deepen if you are interested, and could take LibreCAD a huge step forward.

Kind regards,
André
