I want to do all the drafting within Seamly2D but the lack of these two tools hinders me. It is still possible with the move and rotate tool, but it takes so much time, makes the draft very messy, and most importantly, fries my brain.
Most of the time I just do the initial pattern in Seamly2D, then do these operations in other softwares.
It is understandable because Seamly2D parametric workflow introduces a lot of constraint. So, my bold suggestion is to introduce these two tools in piece mode, or even a new separate mode that break all the constraints.
Though this is just my selfish wish. It will be a massive undertaking for the developer, so I don’t expect it anytime soon. But I love Seamly2D so much I want it to be the best patternmaking software there is.
