Nice idea. They should probably stay visible when an additional constraint is associated with it, which seems to be quite some effort for not too much gain.

Re: Sketcher_restoreInternal tool discussion

Without the line dimmensioning or making the ellipse vertically/horizontally aligned will be a PITA because you have to select two points instead of just a line To add to this: making things - e.g. two ellipses - equal would require even need more effort. Beyond this, we should not forget, that the...

Re: Is it intentional that LinearPattern's "occurences" parameter includes the original features but the "length" doesn'

I agree with Roy. I see that it would sometimes be convenient if we think about a multiplied cube where the whole set fits within the specified distance. Alas, it becomes really difficult, if you have to consider all the ugly possibilities that can occur, starting with the center of the first object...
