Is there a way to draw a trapazoid shape, within a set height and length, while also being able to set each angle independently? For instance..... let's take a rectangle 6" long 1.5" tall. Is there a way to change the angles from 90,90,90,90 to 90,90,57,123? I have played around with no success and can't find anything in the help function or the manual.

Yes.
select the PENCIL TOOL.
Select the first tool.
Then at the top you will enter in your numbers for your setup.
So this is based off of a point you select and everything will be based off of that.
So the first dialog is the ANGLE.
Next is the length
Push buttons below are ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE
Next set is POLAR/DISTANCE
Process works like this.
Select the tool.
Set you start point (left Click)
Enter the angle and distance
Press ENTER
It will draw the line.
Repeat back to the first point.
Press APPLY

That works only if you know the exact measurements of each line. I'm looking to create a shape that is much like a rectangle except one side.This one side I know the angles but not the line length. I know the height and length. The work around I have found is creating two rectangles. I orientate one at the angle I'm looking for. Select all, make path, node edit, and remove all nodes I don't need to get my shape.
