I've got the latest source from the subversion repository and I'm using it with Python 2.4 in Cygwin.<br><br>What I can do is draw an open polyline, then draw a segment that snaps to the two polyline endpoints (the snap works as you, Art, described, and colors the snapped point location box a different color than the other points - in my case it's default blue versus default yellow).
<br><br>What I haven't yet figured out is how to make the segment part of the polyline.<br><br>Thancad (a Tkinter based Python CAD app) was actually designed for this sort of thing. I corresponded with its author briefly. It's not a bad tool for what I'm doing, but development on it has, as far as I know, stopped back in 2004.
<br><br>Is this the sort of thing worth trying to incorporate into PythonCAD, or is PythonCAD's audience less of a GIS crowd, and more of a circuit board drawing group?<br><br>Thanks for suffering more questions.<br><br>

Thanks, again, Art. I'll get to work.<br><br>I'm trying to get pythoncad set up under Cygwin. If I have any luck with that, I'll probably have more questions. <br><br>For now, the BSD port, although a bit dated, at least gives me a working app that I can get started on.
