| Aug 13, 2013 at 6:15 | comment | added | Jens | I think Mathematica is a great tool for programmatic, algorithmic drawing. Manual drawing, not so much (too sluggish). This question is about something in-between the two extremes because we're asked to work with given shapes only. That makes it OK as a topic, I guess. It's just a little too open-ended for me... How about changing the title to omit "vector drawing program" and be more specific? E.g.,"Shape manipulation"... | |

| Aug 12, 2013 at 6:19 | comment | added | kornaros | I don't see the reason that one can do better drawing tasks outside Mathematica. Mathematica is for using mathematics! Sketchup use internally mathematical algorithms/models. Why then is not natural to ask someone if Mathematica support grouping, moving, rotating or positioning of shapes? | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 5:45 | comment | added | Sjoerd C. de Vries | While I agree that Mathematica is not the best the tool for drawing, I don't see why one would downvote this question for that reason. There could be many reasons for using Mathematica for this task, for instance because one needs the coordinates in a Mathematica centered coordinate system for further processing (calculating area, finding the best packing etc.). In the past, I have been using both the drawing tools as well as LocatorPane for quick and dirty jobs in this area and though perhaps clumsy it worked sufficiently well for my needs. | |
