Bug ID: 105732
Summary: More drawing toolbars should be available to Base
Report Designer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: dalibor.ko...@total-control.com.hr
Description:
I know that the Base Report Designer is based on Writer, but adding more
drawing toolbars (like the ones present in LO Draw) would push the Report
Designer a good notch above the competition...
I personally need the option to draw lines at all angles, would be very nice to
be able to use connector tools, glue points and to be able to group graphic
objects, use my own library of shapes if possible. If this existed it would be
very easy to create up to date graphical wiring diagrams (electrical
engineering) that would change based on the database content.
Databases are very useful to store cable lists and other similar signal
interconnection tables that can all be nicely integrated together while the
Report Designer would provide a much needed automatic creation of wiring
drawings, instead of current situation of a gazilion different documents in
excel and autocad format (or similar) for all of which it is necessary to track
their own revisions etc... It can be a proper nightmare to take care of all the
necessary documentation and validate the as built documentation on more complex
projects.
Having all the project data in one database (where certain data validation can
be done automatically) while in the same time having a more advanced graphical
Report Designer would make it possible to automate the tedious task of creating
and maintaining of various wiring diagrams throughout a project.
Such a tool is dearly missing in the Linux world, and the beauty of using
LibreOffice Base for such tasks is that it can be easily adjusted for any new
project with any new/significantly different requirements...
Actual Results:
Not possible to draw complex shapes with the current toolbox.
Expected Results:
not applicable
Reproducible: Always
