phebebodelle Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I want to use Paint.net to do a cutting list/diagram for some timber boards to make new doors and draw fronts for my kitchen. All the pieces are rectangular. It is very difficult using the mouse to enter the correct sizes onto the correctly sized outline of the board. Is it possible to enter dimesions for rectangles using the keyboard. This would also be useful for squares and circles. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards - Phebe.

midora Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Paint.NET is not be the best tool to do this kind job because it doesn't offer real objects just layers. Maybe have a look to the vector image editor InkScape. There it is easy to define an object in a certain size and edit it later. The Paint.NET community offers plugins to draw basic objects in a certain size but you can not easily change them later. Or coding plugins to define the objects in c#, postscript, or logo. This allows you to transform the objects and draw them again. But doing it this way is just a work around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phebebodelle Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks for your reply Midora, appreciated. However I'm fairly new to paint and I've looked at plugins (for the first time) and have entered into a nightmare. I went to the A to Z index and nothing seems to work. Frankly I don't know what I'm doing, help please. Regards - Phebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
