Hello,
Maybe there's a feature for this I am missing (or maybe it could be an added feature), but imagine the following scenario:
I'm making a simple mold, and I need to put a channel (or groove) in this mold, for another mold above it to have a matching tongue to fit into it. I could use draft angle to put, say, a 30-degree angle on it, so that my channel narrows by 30 degrees; but what if I wanted the bottom of my draft to be exactly 1/4" or 1/2"? I have to manually go and calculate what angle, as close as possible, depending on the depth of my channel, produces that distance. I could always use other tools like drawing a sketch, offsetting it, and similar to create such a precise angle; but if there was the ability in Draft to manually specify that distance and have it automatically find the appropriate angle, that would seem very useful.
