Canvas Improvement

Canvas Improvement

I'm seeing requests for this going way back, the earliest i read was 2015 but I'm sure there is more.  So I'm taking a photo from a tall vantage point, good focus, and so angle loss to camera lens geometry is minimal.  I add that to fusion canvas, calibrate, and draw on top of it to find hole pastern to make a case for a custom computer build.

 

What I would really like at this point are the following.

  • permanant and changable calibration points  (ie two horizontal for width scale, and two vertical, or on an angle to establish height), these should project to a sketch, allowing the sketch to remain in alignment & scale
  • horizontal/vertical alignment calibration (ie two points that are on the same horizontal plane)
  • the ability to change opacity on the fly (shortcut key ctr-pgup/down or something...)

It might be easiest to just allow import canvas into a sketch plane, add a few calibration point/circles/rectangles/etc, and contrain those with dimension, changing the dimensions would scale those images, and a large part of the drawing proportionally.  All the other functions above would just follow along.

 

Anyway, improving these features are a big deal and should have been addressed a while ago.
