Hello Stefan,
I am very happy that you add some  CAD  functions do Qgis.
They are really useful, but still I feel lack of another CAD funtions in Qgis.
What I really need is:

1. Adding new objects entering coordinates (in point, line or polygon layer) just from keybord. 2. Polar measuremets: we have station point, reference point and we enter distance and angle to get coordinates of calculated point. 3. Rectangular measurements (sometimes still useful): we have station point, reference point and we enter 2 distances (abscissa, ordinate) to get coordinates of calculated point. 4. Intersection from 2 points when you know two angles to set point (in your plugin there is arc intersection when you know 2 distances to set point).
5. Reverse intersection from 3 points (based on distances or angles).
First 3 points a really important.
What do you think about it ?

As to functionality of your plugin now each new created intersection (orthogonal) point or line is on new layer. It is bothering when I want to further use a group of new created objects.

So I would suggest:
1. Add some setting options, where user may point out (enter name of) only 2 layers (point layer and line layer) where objects are written (with intersection or orthogonal line and point). 2. Or second solution: to make editable in the same time 2 layers (with points and lines) and to add new objects (intersection or orthogonal lines and points) at these editable layers.

Regards,
Piotr

Hi

I started working on a plugin that provides some CAD functions:

1. Intersections of linesegments (that do not intersect)
2. Arc Intersection
3. Orthogonal digitizing

I added another function to the plugin:
4. Orthogonal Line: draw an orthogonal line from a point to a line segment.
