Measurement for auras

This was a suggestion from an user named Epitome, im new here so did'nt get to vote, and i could'nt see how many votes he got. I will copy and paste what he wrote and i fully endorse it. Currently Auras are either circles or flat squares. This is fine if you want to represent distance from a token according to either D&D 5E/4E measurement or Euclidean measurement. But as a Pathfinder player I would really appreciate if Auras could be drawn according to Pathfinder/3.5E measurement, and I'm sure some people would like auras in Manhattan measurement as well. So I would suggest replacing the "Square" checkbox for Auras with a selector that lets you pick a measurement, just like in the grid options of maps. That way an Aura could easily be used to represent the effective range of a player's movement or their powers. Now my part. For me, and i play 5E but with the variant rules for diagonals, that makes it the same as Pathfinder. It would be really nice for me to put Paladin auras in true measurement, or even an aura for opportunity attacks for players and monsters with big reach attacks. Thanks
Hear hear! I remember being puzzled the first time I ever tried to put a 10-ft radius aura around a token and got a 12.5-ft radius aura instead. I understand measuring from the edge of the token might be useful in SOME instances, like maybe you want a huge dragon to have a 10-ft aura that covers the dragon's body instead of being a little circle at its center. But seriously, for every case like that there are probably a thousand cases where you just want a 10-ft radius aura TO BE A 10-FT RADIUS AURA!!!
