2d drawing

 * Line: Draws a line - see Draft Line.
 * Construction Line: Draws a line at any angle infinitely - should be easy if possible in coin. To be investigated
 * Polyline: Line with as many points as you like until command is ended - see Draft_Wire.
 * Polygon: dependant on no. of sides
 * Rectangle - see Draft Rectangle.
 * Arc - see Draft Arc.
 * Circle - see Draft Circle.
 * Hatch: Be able to fill an area with technical-style pattern (oblique lines, etc...) - Under investigation
 * Make and insert Blocks: That is in FreeCAD two things: be able to group elements in one object (compound?) - see Draft Upgrade - and be able to instantiate those objects (several documents objects share same shape?)
 * Text - see Draft Text. To be extended to more complex stuff...
 * Display Order: That is showing coplanar objects in desired order. Not sure this is possible, though... Maybe, in a 3D world, we should rethink the way we draw 2D objects, and consider those "overlapping" objects differently (= draw them differently). To be discussed...
 * Erase - see Std Delete.
 * Copy - see Draft Move.
 * Copy with base point - see Draft Move.
 * Multiple copy: Copy an object several times from same base point
 * Paste
 * Paste as Block
 * Offset - see Draft Offset.
 * Move - see Draft Move.
 * Rotate - see Draft Rotate
 * Array: interesting, could be merged with copy tool...
 * Stretch
 * Trim - see Draft Trimex, but could be extended
 * Extend - see Draft Trimex, but could be extended
 * Chamfer
 * Fillet (with angle input) - implemented in Fold module
 * Explode: Explodes blocks/lines - see Draft Downgrade.
 * Dimension - see Draft Dimension
 * Angle Dimension - planned in Draft module
 * Arc Length - planned in Draft module
 * Diameter - see Draft Dimension
 * Radius - see Draft Dimension
 * Continue Dimension: continues a running dimension - planned in Draft module
 * Views: Top, Bottom, Right, Left - see Std View Menu.
 * View: Isometric views - see Std OrthographicCamera.
 * Model Space and Paper space - see the Drawing Module - Model space = Where the model is drawn, Paper space = tabs with different setups that can be plotted. (tab can be drawn in and has viewports made by closed polylines or shapes that view into the model space.) you need to be able to click in and out of model space so you can set up the paper with boders and title boxes. The view needs to be scaled as needed ie. 1:50 or 1:100 - planned in Drawing module
 * Drawing units: All drawing units should be mm - this is a quite special topic, there are many things to be considered. To be discussed further.
