Draft Line and Polyline placement

[renatorivo]

Hi,
I set a plane z = 10, then drawing a rectangle. Its properties are Placement z = 10

in the same plane (z = 10) I draw a polyline (or line), its positioning is Z = 0

This only happens with the lines and polylines. This does not happen with rectangles, circles, ..., or the arches.

Indeed the line/polyline tool always sets its placement to (0,0,0) on creation, because its points can be anywhere in space anyway... But indeed the placement could be set to something more meaningful, like the first vector or the center of mass.

the first vector

I think it's a good solution, better than 0,0,0.
