Added and diffused around the world!

Sweet! Thank you!

I progress
In fact Circle can be Trimed by any curve(s)!
Just SubDivide "Auto" the circle and all is perfect for trim anything you want!

Does exist something for recall "Last Function" ?

Suggestion
Does it possible to have Text beside Function's Button clickable too ?
At any time i want to click on it and must move to the button!

OH, that is interesting! How funny! I had that discussion with Oli earlier on the Units, where I insisted one should be able to click on the unit itself ( cm, mm, inches...), rather than on the button that says "unit", hehe.
But, yeah, I like it, why not!

We really did our best to leave everything in White Rabbit as open as possible so people can figure out their own ways of doing things. Many ways can lead to the desired results. The functions are there.

Auto Subdivide was one of the most fun things to put in!

Something selected in Draw Mode
No possibility to make CTRL + C, CTRL + V between 2 sessions of White Rabbit ? (seems not but maybe a wizard...

So with my discovery I can now draw anything i want!
And have an illumination this morning!
I believe i can draw all curious things : I will add a section "Tips" to the French site (Trucs)
where all my discoveries of very hard research will be!

Like this one: very difficult to draw a circle on a Bezier curve directly anywhere you want!
Better to draw your circle somewhere on the space then move it to the Bezier curve with "red" Snap Right Move Click !

HAHA, that's awesome, Pilou! Olivera sends you ♥ ♥ ♥ and
Yes, you're right, I haven't used the "clipboard" for copy, but I should try that instead. It's a bit trickier, but not too much. Will do!

Something like this : only one button!

Oh, those buttons will later be "collapsed", if so desired, dropping their labels. They are intended to be "optional", you know.

You can load an image into the background as reference. In the file menu you can "Open..." Jpeg or PNG images. This then will open a preview window. You can then click at the bottom of the preview window the "Add to Drawing" button. The image then gets dropped onto your canvas.
Now you can "Transform" it. Once you activate "Transform", there is a guidance in the input tab as to how to proceed. I'm pretty excited about this feature, but it takes some getting used to.
The transform procedure has two phases. First you click & drag the image into position. Once you let go it turns into a rotate & scale function, based on the axis you now have to place. If you hold shift, as usual, it can lock direction, making it easy to scale the image without rotation.
However, the main idea behind this is to align images to an exact measurement reference. Most of the time these are scanned or photographed patterns. You should know the length of at least one of the lines on your image. This you can then align to a line you have already in your "drawing".
For that you simply make (or have) one line at the desired length and orientation drawn. Then, when you load your image, you grab the image by start of the known line in the image and drag/snap it to the start of your line in the drawing. Then, when you let go, you see that you now have an axis active that follows your mouse. Make this axis end at the end of your reference line in the image and then drag/snap that to the end of the line in your drawing. Voila!
It's a procedure that takes seconds and turns your image into a perfect reference to start tracing over.

Ah damned i was too speed few days ago! Crossing posts!

The Import PDF is only "Image"!!! I had not tested if i could snap on it!
We must redraw on it!

No vectorial importation ?
edit: seems not from your previous post!

Buttons They are intended to be "optional", you know.

Yes the "Shortcuts" but with alzheimer that is not very practical for anybody! Button + icon are the top !
