Re: Feature request: Hardlinks of part
I really like the modification mode idea. I solved my problem by force recompute the active document. What is the difference between "recompute feature or document (ctl-R)" and " recompute the current active document(F5)"? Can I pause execution of an operation? Sometimes I need t...
