Part Design - Pad/Pocket pull direction

Post by leoheck »

The current way this is implemented is by using checkboxes. But it is a 3-way switch. So, a good improvement on this interface would be something like the HTML radio list. Where only one item can be selected. And the default selected value is also shown.

This is an example of how to improve this.

Code: Select all

Pull mode
[x] Normal (Up for Pad - Down for Pocket)
[ ] Reversed
[ ] Symmetric (to plane)
The default mode is not shown. What is being displayed is "not reversed". Also, checking the Reverse disables the Symmetric. Then, to be able to switch to Symmetric again, I have to uncheck the Reversed (going back to the normal state) and then select Symmetric. This doesn't make sense.
