In the Mirror menu, it would be great to have a Bisect option, in addition to Entity and Previous Line.

Bisect what?

I'd guess letting us pick two lines like the tangents bisect and it would draw the mirror line along the bisecting line. Sounds really useful to me. Once you think about it, it makes you think hmmm how'd we miss that one for so long.

I'm thinking it would work like the Tangents Bisect? Pick two lines and the Mirror line would bisect the angle between them.

Yea Baby!! - that would save the need to go to the tangents menu and set the cursor to the bisected angle and then reset everything once the mirror has been completed.

I am thinking that might be useful for other editing commands as well - 1 line trim for example.

Okay ... Bisect the included or excluded angle?

I can already do this by using Tangents/Bisect before defining my mirror line, but I would think bisecting the included or excluded angle would give you the same result.

Yep, bisecting the included and excluded angle between two lines is going to be the same line.

This is an old wish. We could save a step in the 'T' Intersection cleanup - it will NEVER need to look like the upper wall intersection (near to the yellow cursor); it will always look like the lower one:



So, the one wall that is the "stem" of the T will always trim to the near side of the top wall of the T. No matter where the lines end - if they don't touch, or if they pass by, or if they are unequal - the included endpoints of the "stem" wall will always clean to side nearest to the other ends of those lines.

The picture makes this clearer than the words. We should just be able to draw a box around a T intersection; just like with an X intersection.

Taking this farther - we really only need one crossing cleanup tool. If the four lines cross and there are no endpoints - it is an X intersection, and it gets cleaned accordingly. If there are four lines, and two parallel lines have endpoints included, then it is a T intersection and gets cleaned to look like a T intersection.

This makes the most sense and would make everything really streamlined. Really nice Neil. Can hear poor Dave now "but I just got all the smart cleanups built!!!"

I like it too, Neil!

Well, now that Dave's all rested up from being on vacation he should be up to the challenge!!

Can we have Mask on the 2 Line Trim menu? Or at least the linetype and color portion of Mask?

I think that Locked Layers should refresh XRefs and self references. We have to be able to lock them, so they don't get erased or moved, but having to then unlock them in order to get them refreshed is counterproductive.

I did not realize this was the case, if so I agree completely. If someone needs something static, they should convert it to a symbol.

It would be lovely if the Show X/Y (or the Show Zero) setting would toggle on whenever Tangents is used to pivot the cursor. And naturally, it could get toggled off again when the cursor goes back to "normal".

Be able to have a T-intersection with a fillet instead of square corner as part of the T-Intersection Command.

It would be good if polylines - including hatch - could be trimmed with the 1-Line Trim.
