Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
Can somebody make a split because were kind of off topic.. (But i like this off topic )
And please split my first post twice because it makes sense in both
I had a few weeks back a meeting with a company that dit something with PLC's, Robots etc. And the guy spoke about IOT and that they did the same in the 80's but it didn't had a fancy name like now

Frankly, there is no need for a split or for further discussion. The feature request has been made.

Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
I think that I would leave the 2-corner rectangle as the default tool for rectangles (it's also the case in other CAD software) but I agree that the 3-corner rectangle is very useful and I also use it frequently in commercial CAD programs. Thus, it would be cool to use it in FreeCAD.
Meanwhile, I created a GitHub FR for this: issue #7221
May I ask the Sketcher masters @abdullah and @paddle for opinion ?
Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
Maybe it is possible to create a property in the parameters Editor(Please).
Does FC store the last used drop down option? If yes does it restore it after closing FC? If yes then i probably use only the 3 point rectangle...

Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
Some CAD programs (like SolidWorks) indeed use the last selected tool as the main one displayed in the drop-down list even after restarting. In FreeCAD it also works like this except for the fact that restarting resets this back to the original setting.

Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
that could be a separate feature request, personally I would just use a keyboard shortcut or a custom toolbar with the one you use.
Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
Actually I have been thinking about 3 points rectangle while refactoring the rectangle DSH with tool settings.
Though I have not gone ahead and added it because it was already quite a complex tool, and I wasn't even sure it was a wanted feature.
But I can definitely add it later on. Though that will probably be for after we merge current refactoring.

Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
@paddle Thank you for the reply. It's nice that you were also thinking about such a feature. It would be great if you could add it in the future. This thread shows that there's a quite big interest in this very handy tool.
Re: [Feature Request] Rectangle from 3 corners
For this rectangle, instead of 2 horizontal and 2 vertical, we need 2 parallel constraints.
Then the question is, for the normal rectangle (and center rectangle) should we change from 2 horizontal and 2 vertical to 2 parallel + 1 horizontal? @chrisb
Also another question: should we also have a mode of 3 points rectangle by center?
