I've surrounded all relevant code parts with CompilerIf directives so the button and procedure only show on Windows for now but I'll ask if anyone can show how to do it on Mac and Linux so all can have the functionality. Thanks for the heads-up!
Also, I found a bug. If you create a new source in the PB IDE after launching the tool and then try to insert the vector code, the IDE will crash.

Edited to remove incorrect information.

Minor issue, but Protected icoInf.ICONINFO in CreateCursor() should be moved to within the CompilerIf for Windows as ICONINFO isn't defined on macOS.

@wombats, thanks for the headsup on that, it's changed and code in first post is updated

Thanks to all for the kind words, I enjoyed making this very much. I made a whole chess set the hard way before it dawned on me that something like this was needed. A few bug reports now, some fixes and it'll be good to go.

I wish Trond was still around, then we'd see some bug reports :shock:

@Netmaestro: thx for that great tool!
It would be great if you could add the subsequent selection and editing to your code, provided by Michael Vogel.

Kind regards

netmaestro ... awesome Vector Curve Designer !!!

could you add this feature :
a lite-colored [optional] Grid overlay , which would help to align Vector start and end points
Grid square sizes could be set to User's choice, would also be great , even just a fixed Grid square size is OK

@Lloyd: This is one of those tools, that now that you have it, you do not know how you lived without it. This is extremely useful and a must-have for anybody's toolbox.

Excellent job and very well done!

Above and beyond all else, Thank You for all of your hard work on this.

fantastic, very interesting code for me, it is now easy to make gcode so that you can mill it with a router

Thank you all for the nice responses. Unfortunately I am unable to reply. Fred said it was a cool tool and right then and there I died and went to heaven.
