Just a little tool I added to the Draft WB, which allows to stretch objects like in autocad: You select objects, start the command, pick a rectangular selection box, then give two points of a displacement vector. All vertices of the selected objects that were in the selection box get moved:

So far it only works on Draft Wires, Lines and Circles. I'll add other useful object types on the way.

Re: Draft Stretch
You are probably aware that there was an attempt recently viewtopic.php?f=24&t=13187&start=20 but we couldn't get it running. Perhaps you can reuse some code.
[After (i think it was) NormandC pointed out, that a well constructed model doesn't need stretching, and I had to confess that he was right I gave up fiddling with the eason code.]
But anyway, it's good to know you work on it.

Re: Draft Stretch
Yes, that one is a more powerful thing that would work on any shape, by rebuilding its faces. Mine is a much more simple tool, made mainly to work with Draft objects, the idea being that the result is still a valid parametric Draft object.chrisb wrote:You are probably aware that there was an attempt recently viewtopic.php?f=24&t=13187&start=20 but we couldn't get it running
