Shape library wizard

Post by Rob »

I like the shape library however its very limiting unless I can add my own frequently used shapes. How about a wizard that allows me to do this easily?

You can add your own shapes but it isn't that easy. The problem is that shapes are parametric so you can't just supply a drawing. The drawing is generated on the fly as you change values. Currently the shapes are generated with Lua scripts so you need some programming experience to create them.

It is not TOO bad doing shapes ONCE you get the hang of how it works.

You can look at the code that is already used as an example.

I would like to get some shapes programed if that's possible. Happy to pay for the service.
