Perhaps there is an existing tool or plug-in for these which I have not run across?
I would like to be able to use a tool to click in an open area, and have a closed polygon or poly-line drawn of the bordering lines, arcs, etc. There is an ACAD tool that does this, if I remember correctly it is called "Region"? As it is now, I either redraw lines, etc. or trim them, and select and compose them (or use connect/combine which is often a little iffy)to create the polygon or line, so that it can be hatched, or offset, etc. A one click tool would be very helpful.
I have mentioned a copy with reference point tool before. It was not part of 12, so I am mentioning it again, in hopes there is a plug-in out there. It would be good to be able to copy and specify a point (any point - inside the copied selection or outside) which would be used when pasting the object(s). This is also an ACad tool. I would improve the ACad version by giving the option of specifying coordinates of the reference point when pasting.
