FS#2456 - Tangent arc
It would be great if QCAD could create an arc tangent to another entity without necessity to type a radius.
Just two simple steps:
1. Click the endpoint of another entity to start the arc. The arc is tangent to the starting entity.
2. Click the second point to place the arc.

Please refer to topic with adapted scripting solution:

Andrew,
Included the adapted script below.
It seems thay ArcTangential.getTangentialArc() is deprecated.
There is one single hit for 'getTangentialArc' on GitHub.

I even presume that ellipse arcs, open splines and polylines are valid base entities too.

Andrew,
In ArcTangential.js:
this.error is set to empty and in 2 occasions there is a test on this.error.length ...
Where do we expect an error message from?
Base entity and transaction errors are handled outside that.

CVH
