Re: [User input] Sketcher - ToolWidget

By chance, are there any plans to supplement the expression entry fields in the size entry fields (Fx)? I think it would be useful. For example, press some key combination with the size active (for example, Shift+F) and an expression input field will open. Currently this can only be done by applyin...

Re: Sketcher : merge reference and deactivated constraints

Well, sorry guys I have been absent for some days. What a lively discussion! I am surprised that nobody raised this meaningful difference: - Driven constraints (the blue thingies) are dimensional. - Deactivated constraints (the grey thingies) can be dimensional or geometric. If something flips. You ...

Re: Sketcher : Remove Delete All Constraints from toolbar

I realize this topic is mostly about delete all constraints , but delete all geometries pops up as well. The simple and safe way to delete all geometries is to close the sketch, delete the sketch, and start over. In this way there is no possibility of any unwanted residues hindering successful comp...

Re: The problem of conflict constraint identification

Sometimes, the problem is though not with the identification itself, but with how the constraints themselves are written, and how they degenerate their rank in a given position. Sorry for commenting on something I am not really aware of... Usually, the degeneracy of the rank in a given position can...

Re: The problem of conflict constraint identification

Oh! You finally showed up! Not sure how to take this. I have discussed related issues with you before, and this post (https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php? T=78703&start=10), if you have time, you can reply briefly. My idea at that time may be simple, but the example itself is interesting. T...

Re: Sketcher - How can I trim away edge without messing up sketch

Despite all modeling advice remains the question why trim causes the sketch to get completely out of whack. I observed that some tangencies are unnecessarily removed. @abdullah, you may add this to your examples for heuristics what to do when trimming. What an ugly result!! It is so ugly that, with...

Re: Sketcher : Remove Delete All Constraints from toolbar

Rationale of status quo: - Delete all constraints exists, as Chrisb says, to compensate for deletion times. For complex designs this is still the case that it takes too long. - Toolbar or no toolbar is controversial. There is always the argument that without it in the toolbar it won't be used, and t...

Yes please, do create a GH ticket. It must have been lost in some other PR.

Re: Sketcher : merge reference and deactivated constraints

Even if you could get away with it from a strictly technical point of view, you would end up having to store previous states or values, and it would lead to a much more complex code... ... and I wonder what for? Not to have two icons for two tools? You could try to only change the UI and keep all th...
