Step a line segment? (by Jeremy)
Hi,
I've only just discovered this software; it's exactly what I need. A fast, simple, 2D parametric drawing tool.
I am struggling with the step-repeat behaviour though. I am basically trying to draw a box joint-ed rectangle. This is easy in Inventor, I just draw one "tooth", and then use the horizontal step and repeat on that segment. I can't seem to work out how to apply the repeat on SolveSpace to just one line segment though; it always applies to all of the line segments in the drawing, not just the ones I have selected (which is the behaviour I am used to).
What is the correct way to do this? I have attached a picture of what I am trying to do; I'm trying to repeat the red lines along the axis of the orange arrow.

You could (a) sketch non-parametrically, with paste transformed, or (b) sketch the section to be repeated in a single group, step that, and then sketch the rest in the step and repeat (or another) group.

Try "Translate" you original sketch and then connect points highlighted on this screenshot (last right point of original sketch with first left point of nearest translated sample)
