Sketch datum display revisited

[nahshon]

Some minor things about sketches... For now I'm only looking at distance between line and point cases which IMHO are easy to improve.

I'm asking for other people's thoughts. If there's an agreement I will proceed to implement it...

When a distance is measured to an existing line (or the main axes) and the arrow is actually touching it, there is no need to draw an additional red line. (cases A, B and C).

Measuring distance between a point and an arbitrary line, If the arrow is not touching the line, the red line should be drawn between the arrow and the nearest end of the line. Not to the projection of the point on the line. (Case D).

Thanks!

I agree completely!

That would be an improvement! +1

Good idea, please make a feature request on the tracker!

[jriegel]

Or even better - implement it and make a pull request!

That was the idea. I hope to find the time for it next week.

go ahead!

Let me know if you have any questions about SoDatumLabel in Sketcher.
