I'm missing more of a Shape Library Panel
You can create shape presets with the Presets panel. Then select those shapes to replace some shape in the canvas.
(I will also add drag&drop creation).

would be a little more fluidthe idea it self came from the app "Concepts"
on my iPad, here a sketch how it works in Concepts
just for inspiration

@Subpath The solution "concepts" uses seems like a very effective solution. What do you do if you have many more unique shapes? There seems to be a limit to what can be shown in that layout example you shared

The maximum of that storage fields visible on the screen are 12, on my iPad Pro 12.9.
The maximum number of shapes is higher because you can switch between different libraries.
For architecture, electronics, shoes, faces, etc.Since scrolling on the iPad is fast and smooth, scrolling back and forth isn't
much of a problemSaving a shape only takes one click,
also just one click to place a shape on the canvas (or drag & drop).
So using this shape storage is also pretty fluid.

@Subpath I could be mistaken, but isn't that also the case for the Affinity suite (assets)?

I'm creating a thread in " Features and Ideas. " on this topic,
because it is a bit more extensive as I thought.So, my Post about a Shape Library is now in "Features and Ideas"

@Pat
I think there are some similarities.
-
I am sure everyone agrees on how to draw trapezoids using VS's advanced functionality.
I think that since there are "star" and "spiral" tools, there should be a "trapezoid" tool as well. I think this is a short-sighted idea.
I wonder if this kind of tool is already obsolete.
-
@VectorStyler It is necessary to add a tool that can generate precise irregular polygon shapes, including isosceles triangles, trapezoids, etc. This tool should allow parameterized inputs for different side lengths, angles, and other properties.
-
could the "Envelope Distortion" be helpful
with this kind of Transformation ?
-
@Subpath Thank you! I need to generate a correct triangle based on the known values of its three sides, as shown in the following diagram.
-
@Li-Xiao, your welcome
looks like a CAD case to me ?
-
@Subpath Yes, it is relatively easy to implement in CAD software. Apps like AI or CD have plugins available for generating such shapes.
