Very cool app, I’m really enjoying it so far. However, is there a way to lock down a dimension after entering it? For example, if I set a 90 deg angle and then try to set the length of the line in the sketch, the angle will change from 90 or the two lines will unjointed, etc. Am I missing something?

nope this is a bug that should be fixed. I find myself doing this a lot.

1. set an angle
2. extend or retract the end from that point.

Yes, not really a bug, but rather a missing feature, but that’s something we will have to implement soon.
