from memory, as I have little free time. i'll try to get back to this soon.
mesh tiny cad
=========
This tool offers a few operations normally found in CAD programs, like; Intersection, Extend, finding the Center of a circle, Bisect and Perpendicular. Below is a description of individual operations.
VTX
----
**Welds a Vertex at the (projected) intersection of two edges**
VTX will automatically do the following:
- extend edges towards their intersection (V and T)
- intersect / weld two crossing edges (X)

V2X
---
**Add a Vertex at the (projected) intersection of two edges**
V2X places a new vertex at the (projected) intersection of two selected edges. Without modifying the existing geometry

XALL
----
**Intersect all selected edges**
This welds a vertex at the intersection of any edges present in the selection. XALL intersects / welds all selected edges.

E2F
---
**Extend an Edge towards a selected Face**.
E2F extends one side of a selected edge towards a selected face.
[image]
BIX
---
**BIX makes the bisector of two selected edges.**
The edges may share a vertex, but don't have to. Edges must be coplanar for the bisector to make sense. Notice: For both scenarios this function will make guide geometry which is not attached to the original geometry.

CCEN
----
**Finds the geometric center of a circle from 3 vertices**
CCEN reconstructs a circle, the minimal requirement is that you can select 3 vertices of a degenerate circle. Useful for when you've deleted part of the circle geometry and want to find the centroid to place the 3d cursor, or if you want to make a circle with a different vertex count or radius.

@zeffii with your permission can I copy/use this content to build an official manual page for you?
Ill give you commit access to if you want to update it in the future but it seems for the most part you have abandoned this project.
yes that's fine.. but let me fill it out a little further before committing. + some pictures from the http://zeffii.github.io/mesh_tiny_cad/ docs.
but @Blendify if I don't return to this within a time you find reasonable, you have my go-ahead to do with it what you see fit. sadly i have different priorities at the moment.
