Would it be sensible as a long term goal to integrate sketches into TechDraw documents, similar to how bodies handle them: It would be possible to use other points from a view as external references but nothing else.
And of course TechDraw should be aware of the Sketcher's geometric element "Point".

Hi chrisb
..... certainly the detection of the sketcher point in TechDraw, together with the workflow mentioned in the topic "TechDraw without limits = Layout autocad" and the macro "TechDrawTools-V_0.4.2" would allow us to create technical drawings without any limit.

This tool is a game game changer for TechDraw!

It should be integrated in TechDraw default, IMHO.

..... use of the cosmetic circumference, for example to create parallels (the error signaling, for the modification of the attributes of the cosmetic lines, of FC does not affect the result)

.... here is one of the solutions for tracing the tangent quota using the tools present in TechDrawTools 0.4.2-multilanguage: cosmetic circumference and perpendicular and vertex in the intersection, I understand that it is a bit laborious but in any case it succeeds

I love it! Drilling table is something I use the Spreadsheet view for today.
