Dont know if this is possible but it would be great if we could draw parallel lines with the ruler.
At the mo we can grab a line at either end and adjust.

If there could be a way to grab the whole line, say from an extra point and move it keeping the same bearing.

I know this would require more than image work.
What do you think? |
I dream about such solutions as well - REAL applied geometry, with rulers, set squares, drafting compasses... But this is much more than simple substitution of tool images.
At the moment I have no idea if and how your request could be done. However I started experimenting with lines manipulation, and if I find anything useful, I'll let you know.
As to the very issue of parallelity - the tool used in Large Style could do the job to an extent - when you start drawing the line, you check where the original line starts (close to which tool's dot), and then you end drawing the line when the second end of the original line is alligned exactly in the same spot. Not a very handy method, but good as a workaroud.
Actually... you gave me an idea.
