In the future will Shapr3D have the ability to sketch points? It is handy to be able to do a layout of sketched points first when making a spline curve, etc. Also, how about center points for circles?

Hi - Sketching points are on the roadmap, though no ETA at this point.

What do you mean by “center points for circles”? When you create a circle a center point is created automatically.

A small sketch mark indicator of the center. When I go to translate a circle sometimes I don’t get the exact center. One usually lines up circles using center points.
