Not really. We don't describe things that aren't implemented yet. It has been decided to maintain the development version in the wiki and (preferably) new things as such, to make clear they work from a certain version on.

How to read named constraints from Sketcher from Python

Yep but how to read them from a script! I'm stuck on this reading docs and docs. It's three years ago that I posted here. Here we go: Assume you have a point in a sketch named "Sketch". Add driven dimensions like this: SnipScreenshot-b5f871.png In Python define a function def getConstrain...
