Yes I have read the tutorials. I have mot read the whole manual. I just
have to draw lines, boxes with rounded corners and circles and
triangles. I am good with everything but the triangles. 

It looks like I can not make a right triangle at all. I think I know how
to make an equilateral triangle but I have to eyeball the sides because
it wants to have a vector in the middle of a side and it wants
everything symmetric. 

It is not intuitive.

I am having a similar problem with Xera Extreme but at least they have
triangles. Inkscape uses lower right corner, and Xera uses center of the
object for placement. So I have a spreadsheet.
