Is it possible for you to explain in detail what you mean by "auxiliary circle"?
You don't need a manual construction with an auxiliary circle. Follow the "Usage" steps in the tool description and you get what you are looking for.

You can set the global "Label Format" precision like "2 places after point" below:

Re: Blocks, Library, Edit Block, Edit Block In Place

Part of my problem is I am accustomed to changing the grid on-the-fly. In the photo that I have attached, you can see how this is made easy in my old CAD program with an Icon on the right (red box). Without going to any menu I could instantly get a pop-up window with the grid settings while drawing...

Re: Printing Orientation Issue

Application Preferences is responsible for NEW drawings.
Drawing Preferences is responsible for the ACTUAL drawing.
If you change the orientation (or anything else) in the actual drawing then it is normal to have different settings compared to the Application Preferences.

Re: Another angle unit related suggestion: Add normalized unit circle coordinates (complex numbers essentially).

And after all, what is the purpose of a CAD program but to automate away the tedium of these kinds of mundane computations that get in the way of high level sense of design sometimes? I disagree! The purpose of a CAD program is to design digital models etc. before even manufactured or in a reingene...

Re: Bug (-: on Linux only, once again ?)

Again - Application Preferences is right now for your case irrelevant.
Drawing Preferences is what counts for the reported copy/paste issue. Make sure both drawings have same settings.

Re: Bug (-: on Linux only, once again ?)

Application Preferences is responsible for new drawings. Drawing Preferences is responsible for the actual loaded drawing what means there are already noticeable differences between the source and the target drawing. Equaliz the source and target drawing regarding the precision below Drawing Prefere...

Re: Bug (-: on Linux only, once again ?)

I did a copy and paste: (copy with reference in abs -48:0) from one document to another (paste in abs 0:0) and I ended up with monstrous errors. It would help if you elaborate what are those monstrous errors are. The screenshots showing only that for the length value different precisions are used -...

Re: Blocks, Library, Edit Block, Edit Block In Place

But I guess my real question in my last post was about the use of names and was that the reason why my process above failed . I had a PART saved in the library. I edited a copy of that PART in a drawing. As part of that editing I had to make it a BLOCK, with a name. I used the same name. I tried to...

Re: Suggestion: Add cycles/turns to the available units for angular dimensions.

I do still think that having cycles (a.k.a. turns) added to the available units would be beneficial though. I have the feeling we are used to different geometrically terms. Sorry but I don't understand your terms. A circle is a circle. Ok! What is a turn? An arc? Why a.k.a circle? Means that a turn...

Re: Two Suggestions: Add an option for controlling the tooltip delay and to show hotkey labels near every button.

Honestly, I think you are looking for a software/GUI supported cheat sheet. 8) Shortcut user are amazingly good in memorizing those shortcuts. 40 - 50 shortcut keys are no problem for them. Because of that they will most likely hide most of the tool icons. Other user like me use on a regular base up...
