Drawing arc or pie in Ultiboard...

[RnDMonkey]

... is total garbage. I'm sorry to vent, but the implementation of the manual coordinate entry for arcs and pies is just... unbelievably stupid.

I don't know why there are 2 options for setting the coordinates, but they clearly conflict with each other because the other values are constantly recalculating depending on your input. The fact that you have to choose between one or the other, when each one has a parameter you need, is not useful at all.

For spherical arcs there only needs to be ONE set of parameters: 

1. Center X, Center Y

2. Arc span (in degrees/radians)

3. Radius

OR:

1. Center X, Center Y

2. Endpoint 1 X, Endpoint 1 Y

3. Endpoint 2 X, Endpoint 2 Y

Same principle for pie.

How long has this been this way, and is there any plan on fixing it? I have Ultiboard 10.1.197. Again, I apologize for my obvious frustration.

I'm not sure if this was one of the corrected items, but the latest version is 10.1.357.......;)   Chris

I don't think it's one of the fixes. Please let me know if I'm wrong. I have reason not to update to the "latest version".

Never mind my post. I really don't need to care about this anymore. 🙂
