LDCad 1.6 Beta 2 (win+linux)

Any suggestions for the next major version (ether 1.7 or 2.0, not sure yet) are welcome though.

Firstly echoing Merlijn's message, thanks very much for your continuing work on LDCAD. It is my preferred modelling tool of choice too.

A tool functional suggestion for your consideration. Would it be possible to add something to easily align parts to a "master" part. In the manner of Visio's "Align Object" (dialog window snapshot by means of an explanation);



though perhaps with the alignment to the current editing plane.

I think this functionality would be useful when "tidying up" a model towards the end of modelling e.g. where part rotations/"un"-rotations may have caused part positions to have non-zero values after the decimal place.


A second suggestion is similar to the alignment but where the side of one part can be placed adjacent to the opposite side of a master part e.g. left side to right side. Where there are multiple parts selected, the parts would get "staggered".

Regards,

David
