A couple more sketch tools.

[brakthehun]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm used to 3D parametric sketch modeling (OnShape) - and I can't quite design the same things with these tools
I'm also used to many Lightburn and InkScape tools. I currently can not create certain patterns with this software.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see:
circular arrays - That's a big one for designing clocks and speaker enclosures.
Symmetric constraints or mirroring - great for designing brackets and speakers.
Center point rectangle - it's nice to constrain things to the center of a rectangle.
Boolean functions!! (union / difference / intersect)
The toolbar up to is blank and has room for these buttons plus many more
Fill function - but with an adjustable pic.
Offset function
Pattern along curve

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can use Inkscape / Lightburn / FreeCad / OnShape to do many of these things. I'm just excited to see an integrated parametric laser program.

Thanks for the feature request! That is a lot of features in one issue - this would be enough work for maybe months to support everything!

Note: Did you know that circular arrays can be created outside of the sketcher? An array function was added not long ago (Arrange -> Array -> Circular/Grid/Point)

Based on this vote, I am planning to spend some time on this:

A couple of what you mentioned are already supported though:

• there is already a symmetry constraint (S shortcut).
• circular arrays: these are supported, but outside the sketcher. I guess a similar tool could also be added in the sketcher
• fill function - only solid fills are supported at this time

I will go through the remaining ones checking what could be done. Specific task list

• circular arrays - That's a big one for designing clocks and speaker enclosures.
• Symmetry constraints
• mirror tool
• Center point rectangle - it's nice to constrain things to the center of a rectangle.
• Boolean functions!! (union / difference / intersect)
• Fill function - but with an adjustable pic.
• Offset function
• Pattern along curve

Than you very much for this attention. I'm really excited to see where this goes.

Center point rectangle is now implemented, see #365

[knipknap]

Mirror tools are now implemented.

[knipknap]

Even more improvements have been implemented with #367: Undo/redo button in toolbar, better "saved" state handling, some bugfixes.

[knipknap]

The circular array tool is now implemented, see #375.

[knipknap]

Pattern along curve is now also in main.
