Features for faster workflow

[David Telles]

I’ve probably mentioned these but I find myself wishing for these basic tools all the time so I’ll reiterate just to see if anyone else would like these features:
A tape measure tool – that is, a point to point or point to tangent on a curve tool.
Handy for deck and cockpit planning and a million other uses.

A protractor tool – bevels, centerboards etc.

A solo button on the layers window- obvious time
saver. the toggle works ok, I should say, so this is picky.

A “select all” feature in the transform tools window – scaling is a tedious affair when there are a lot of layers.

Some method for deducting hull thickness and generating corrected frame drawings. I know this is a much-discussed topic but I include because, what the heck! I do think that if Martjin gets the time, it would pay off for him since so many who now use DS free would gladly buy the pro version to have this crucial (for small boat designers) ability.

That’s my list

Yes Marven,
I want everything that Alerion wants plus a little black dress so I can get in contact with my feminine side. :kiss:

[Marven]

I thought you got rid of that side a couple of years ago :whistle:

[David Telles]

Mike, WTH?
I expected some comment – a disagreement or agreement – but not flame out of the gate.
Perhaps you should get a black dress, – your feminine side might be more pleasant.

My “womanly whining” notwithstanding, it’s seems that the place to post Features-I-would-love-to-see-incorporated-into-the-software is not here in “Feature Requests”. Ok.

My apologies if re-hashing old feature requests is annoying, but I do think Martijn would sell more Pro versions if the abilities I mentioned were there. I know that is a huge undertaking, but it bears mentioning..

Anyway, surely your masculine side must realize this is only a wish list (inspired by working with other software that actually has these features) and not a work order. Maybe someone else will post something useful, like where to buy matching pumps!

Normally, sarcastic comments don’t elicit a response from me, but your oddly sexist witticism would probably rub a lot of women the wrong way (itself an oddly sexist expression!).

Still, if you insist on buying that dress, you should definitely accessorize with a wig – hirsute beefy chicks get no respect!

And Martijn!
Your tacit support of Mike’s colossal perversion is surprising, though I applaud your liberal nature. He might look awesome in black!

[MICHAEL KERR]

Alerion, my deepest apology if I have offended you in any way, the only thing I can say in my defense is, its all Marvens fault. 👿

[David Telles]

My apologies if i misinterpreted – I am thick that way.
I still wish you’d post a pic in drag.
It might not be pretty, but it certainly would be funny.:P

[MICHAEL KERR]

Pucker up boys :kiss:

Good God!
i take it all back.
You are absolutely stunning comme la femme!

[MICHAEL KERR]

Why thankyou Alerion, what an amaging transformation a little bit of lippy and rouge can do for a man, personnelly I think it brings out the animal in me.

Marven, if that monkey was flat on its back, unconscius with an empty beer bottle in its hand, it would be a spitting image of my ex wife. :S

I can see why you fell for her in the first place 😛

[Jesus Cruz]

:woohoo: This is by far the best topic in the site.

👿 😆

[Marven]

Well Jesus, feel free to jump in with some private pictures of your own at any time, just as long as they’re decent B)

[MICHAEL KERR]

I thought Jesus was dead, I bet he doesnt have the holes in his feet to prove it.
I once performed a miracle, I made my ex wife disappear and Ive been avoiding her ever since.:woohoo:

[Jesus Cruz]

Well I’m not that Jesus, so no holes (in my feet at least), hahahahaha

Considering that this is a request topic, can you include the MODU’s stability criteria in the software, it would save me a lot of time, thanks

[MICHAEL KERR]

Well Im glad to hear your not that Jesus, Ive never considered cruxifixion a rewarding career move. But can’t you create a couple of miracles, such as turning Marven into an octopus so he can program faster or how about an ever-lasting light globe.:)

[Marven]

can you include the MODU’s stability criteria in the software, it would save me a lot of time, thanks

Sure Jesus. I’ll check it out and will let you know.

But can’t you create a couple of miracles, such as turning Marven into an octopus so he can program faster

Finished your boats already Mike? :whistle:

[MICHAEL KERR]

yes I’ll finish those boats tomorrow but today I have to finish this cure for cancer.
:blink:

[Marven]

You need a WHOLE day for that? 😉

[MICHAEL KERR]

Your right but wonder drugs is just a sideline thing for me and I did have some technical problems..
1: I’m mathematically challenged after I run out of fingers and toes.
2: I have to share my laboratory with the laundry and lawn mower.
3: My electron microscope is a $2 magnifying glass.

Mind you, Im not using any of these as excuses, after all we are professionals here at ACME CANCER CURES.:blink:
