Hi Max,
Have you thought about adding tools for easily extending and trimming lines? I think most CAD applications have such tools. Now I think of it, we could even simply use the "constrained snapping to objects" mechanism for that.
Your blueprint looks really promising and balanced, so there's not much else I can add to it.

Hi all,
to "officially" kick off my GSoC project I have made my initial draft available as a LP Blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/tech-drawing
I'd be glad if folks added their suggestions and ideas there (and/or reorganize stuff if it seems helpful) so that I can get an impression of which features are most wanted and how people imagine them to work most smoothly UI-wise.
As for coding, during the last 1-2 weeks I did some experiments with LPEs in various directions. Some of these are in SVN already, but overall it was mainly to get an impression of what is already there and what still needs to be done in order to integrate LPEs more tightly into existing tools. In the next few days I'm going to write an email summarizing my thoughts and giving an overview of the first steps I'm planning to take.
