I would like to have some enhanced "special" ruler assistant tools to quickly make: -parallel lines/curves -concentric lines/curves -concentric circles You can get a precise idea of the concentric tools by watching this video example, from 3'30" to 3'50": http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lIyBID61IhQ#! The parallel tool would work in the same idea (having a base "ruler" line and every stroke being parallel to it...) Also in the same video you can see a very cool perspective tool (from 4'10" to 4'40"). It would be very useful to have a similar perspective assistant (not sure if it should replace the one we have currently, which may still be useful for different cases..) The problem I have with current perspective tool is that it's hard to use it for proper 2 or 3 points perspective.
Ack.
Assistants are great but yes I do want the same things as Animtim proposes. plus a few more. Grid assistant. Rectangular grid (its possible to make one with the perspective assistant and a square to copy over, but a grid would be faster) Axonometric grid, like the one in inkscape, to easen the creation of isometric stuff. (Again it can be faked rotating the square 45° and tracing a perspective grid over it.) Circular grid, but I guess parallel ellipse works best as a name.
