Sketcher: how to tell which virtual space is active?

If you use Sketcher_SwitchVirtualSpace to switch "virtual spaces" the visibility of constraints is toggled. This state is saved. When you open a sketch is there an easy way to tell if you are in the "hidden" virtual space? The only way I see is to apply a new constraint. If it is...

Re: Beam does not always span the two given points when using keyboard input

What I notice now is that if I select the empty Category and Preset and repeat the test, I get a beam from 0,0,0 to 2000,0,0. That happens without the fix as well. To fix that problem you would have to change the definition of the Structure object, and also of the prefab category of objects. Which ...

Re: Template:"WB Name" Tools navi ... & related

The link in the Docnav template can be translated automatically with {{#translation:}}. But not the word "Index". There used to be more words in the template ("Previous" and "Next") but these were removed a year ago.

Re: How to manage part variants effectively?

Of course you can also build your PD Body from multiple revolutions. And in V0.22 a (hidden) Suppressed property has been added to PD features which can also be useful here.

Re: How to manage part variants effectively?

You can combine sketches with a PartDesign_SubShapeBinder. Expressions can be used to change the Support property of the binder.
In the attached example changing the EdgeDetail cell in the spreadsheet (1, 2 or 3) will change the PD revolution.

Re: Std_TreeSelectAllInstances usage?

Thanks. On Windows it expands nodes to make the instances visible in the tree, but only selects the first.

Std_TreeSelectAllInstances usage?

In the Tree view context menu there is a "Select al instances" option which calls Std_TreeSelectAllInstances. From the code I gather that it should select all objects that use the same viewprovider. But, AFAICT, each object has its own viewprovider. How is this command supposed to work?
