[PR #3893] add along length option for pad

Post by uwestoehr »

The PR https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/3893

implements 3 features requested by users:

1. an option to measure the pad length along its direction if there is a custom direction
2. when there are two lengths, the reverse feature should be active
3. the pad dialog shows now always the used pad direction, no matter if it is a custom one or the sketch's normal

Here are the 3 new features in action:

- At first you see there that reverse now also works for two lengths
- then you see that if no custom direction is used, the direction of the sketch's normal vector is displayed
- at last you see the option to set the 15 mm along the custom direction

Here is the used file to create the screencast:
