Declined
The "Segment with given length from point"-tool constructs a point on a circle with the given length as radius.
I would like to have at tool for constructing a segment with a given length and direction.
As an alternative it could be a new Angle-tool: Select two points and then input an angle and a distance to the new point.
I know I can make such a tool myself, but I think it should be part of the standard-tools of GeoGebra.

I like this idea 
Bonjour,
You must design the tool with independant (free) objects
1) make a number a (the length)
2) make an angle α
3) make a point A
4) create the target : B:A+(a;α)
Make the tool with :
1) final object B
2) original objects : A, a and α (help string : Point, length, angle)
3) Name it Segment2
Using the tool :
1)Make a Point Exemple
2)Make a number b
3)Make an angle β
4) Make Exemple_1 : Segment2[Exemple,b,β]
I just realized you want a segment not a point, so make that target object as :
B:Segment[A,A+(a;α)]

Using B=A+(length;angle) or Segment(A,A+(length;angle) is a very good idea :)
But I still think that this tool could easily be incorporated in one of the existing GeoGebra standard tools (or added as a new tool). The most obvious choice probably is the "Angle with given size"-tool, here we just need to add an option to enter the distance to the new point.

How do you create such a tool?
