Creating a road center-line is fairly simple but could be improved. (way better than native tools) That got me thinking about the more general case of lines that are tangent to circular arcs. The type of curve I am talking about is a series of straight segments and arc segments that always have the characteristic of being tangent and the arc segments are circular arcs.
I have tried creating these several ways and it is always a little clumsy. Always need several tools including trim and extend. Arc tool with tangent option is really great already and is very useful. I wonder if you could add a way of introducing arcs into the line tool such that next segment would respect the orientation of the previous.
I am new to lwcad and have been delighted at every turn and new discovery.
