Re: gEDA-user: more kvetch re: pcb Arcs




  - "offset" button like 2d CAD packages have
offset - creates a new line, parallel to a selection, at a given distance on one (or both sides). In the case of a line, the new line has the same length, and a perpendicular line will pass through the endpoints of both the original and new line. For arcs, the start and stop angles are preserved.
  - "extend/trim" mode like 2d CAD packages have
extend/trim - using one line/arc as a boundary, change the length of another line/arc so that its endpoint lies on the first geometry. In the case of non-existent intersection of the as-drawn objects, the algorithm may extend the reference geometry in order to find an intersection.
