Two ideas after having used the programme for a while:
Templates, if you use a certain file as a jumping board quite often it would be nice if you could set it as a template you could select when opening a new seamly file. That way you don’t have to go into the original file and go “save as” etc.
A line function that automatically creates a line going both directions. It would make measuring things easier because very often I don’t know which way the line is going (and in what order to write the line formula)
Not practical. It would only end up making it harder to find variables in the table as there would be twice as many to search through.
If you are using the fx Editor to construct your formulas it should not be an issue which way a line is going… If for ex. you are wanting to add the length of a line you can just find the line in list.
Certainly we could add templates to Seamly2D. However at some point you have to name the new pattern. Typically an app may give a project a default name that you can change before you load a template… for ex: here’s my audio editor where I can start with a template, with the choice to name the new Song other than the default:
