Description Roman Kuznetsov 2018-04-08 20:13:25 UTC
Description:
IMHO, some drawing tools need move to more suitable palettes in Draw
I offer:
1. Line (45 dg) and Insert line from "Arrows" to "Lines"
2. Arc (not Block Arc!) from "Basic Shapes" to "Lines"
3. Square, Octagon and Diamond Bevels from "Symbol Shapes" to "Basic Shapes"
4. Doorplate from "Stars and Banners" to "Basic Shapes"
5. Explosion, Vertical Scroll, Horizontal Scroll, Signet from "Stars and Banners" to "Symbol Shapes"

ps: in palette "Stars and Banners" will be only star shapes. We can rename it into just "Stars"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new Draw document
2. Look at tools in palettes and will think about my offer

Actual Results:  
there are some tools in incorrect palettes

Expected Results:
there are all tools in more suitable palettes for it


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

You mean Curves? Not convinced.

Arcs can be filled like shapes, lines not.

> 3. Square, Octagon and Diamond Bevels from "Symbol Shapes" to "Basic Shapes"

The basic shapes have those shapes too but not with the bevel. E.g. Square with bevel is kind of a button. So how about just renaming?

Both work for me.


IMHO a lot of work for less benefit. Would close as WFM if there are not other opinions.

PS: needsUXEval needs CC to ux-advice

Yes right now the diagonal line is at arrows, but the target group is called "Curves", right?

Closing as there is no further input.
