For the benefit of anyone reading this, cone and radius are click for center, scroll wheel for distance, Ctrl key with mouse movement to rotate cone and line is Ctrl+click for some kind of pivot point, click for initial heading, scroll wheel for line distance, and mouse movement for final heading or something like that. I got the order there right, but not necessasarily the effects. Experimentation advised. Thanks to tcroft for telling me this in the first place.

I've just modified the workings of the radius/cone/line templates to all work with 2 mouse clicks. The first click sets an anchor vertext, which is the center of the radius template and the start of the cone and line templates. The second click sets range for all 3 templates and the direction of the cone and line templates. This makes the templates work like the rest of the drawing tools.
Please feel free to add any comments you have for the new behaviors. The template support is still in the implementation stages, so it is still subject to change and we will use your suggestions to do this.
I have just checked these changes in today (12/27/2005) and I am not sure when they will actually be made available for download. It will happen with the next push.

Is this supposed to do anything yet?
If so, it's not working for me. I just get the cross moving around and clicking any combinations of buttons does nothing.
Please ignore, jsut got it.
Yeah, there has been quite a bit of discussion on template usage, check it out here:
