Harald, thank you. Though I normally use a CAD program for building projects
(because of libraries, BOM automation and all of the other benefits of
specialized drafting software), I have used Draw for small projects, for all
the reasons given in your link: because it's quick and easy, especially when
there is a need for special objects not in a CAD library, like custom kitchen
cabinet details. So thought I knew how to apply Draw to that task, but I
learned new tricks from that explanation.
I appreciate that,
John

I am using Windows10x64bit Home on DELL desktop and LO 7.3.2.2 (x64) /
LibreOffice Community.
I have never made any use of the LO Draw module in the past, and wonder if it
is suitable for creating a 2-dimension drawing that shows room layout with
dimensions, to scale if possible.
My immediate need is to create a document/drawing of the household room
dimensions, e.g., square footage dimensions, as if I needed to paint the
ceiling or the walls or needed to lay down carpeting or hard wood flooring, or
calculate/show square footage of lawn areas, etc.
Is LO Draw the appropriate module for me to learn? Or, is there some other
program that is simpler to learn and to use?
Up till now I have been making a hand sketch of the area of interest, scan the
sketched layout, create a PDF and then type/enter dimensions as text
annotations within the PDF. I think there might be a simpler method.
I look forward to receiving suggestions/comments from the LO Draw community users. In the meantime, I will be reading the LO Draw Users Guide.
