Rename: The two visual modes of using Sketcher

[mario52]

hi

the value change but i not see the difference

same if i adding "Gui.runCommand('Std_DlgPreferences',0)" in end "def SM1()"

see this post (work with the preference options certain work other no):

The Open Document Widget is NOT showing ALL my files

Standard / imperial unit system change - short cut

I also don't see any changes. Maybe Openbrain can jump in here.
Right out of the console:

Code: Select all

for name,doc in App.listDocuments().items():
    for sketch in doc.findObjects('Sketcher::SketchObject'):
        sketch.ViewObject.HideDependent = True
        sketch.ViewObject.ShowLinks = True
        sketch.ViewObject.ShowSupport = True
        sketch.ViewObject.RestoreCamera = True

It's like it only takes the info from the screen.

Here is a macro if folks want to do some testing, the macro only sets 3 levels of visibilty. It's kind of big because of the style sheet issues I'm having. Another big advantage of SM2, in Sketcher if you turn on auto-update the model will update in real time and you get to watch, I really like this when designing something.

I will start a new post in the "Python scripting and macros" section and reference this. Looks like there's some work to be done.

Since I got this working I thought I would at least post the fix in a macro. It works great and updates correctly in Preferences.
The SM1 button toggles between SM1 and SM2. When using SM2 the model will be shown solid (in Sketcher) until you use the global visibilty buttons to peer thru the surface. If you load a new document you will need to toggle the the SM button to apply settings, the macro does not react to a new file load.
There is still some work to be done to get this into a toolbar.

I added a pic of ppemawm's Grinder, a huge difference if your trying to design in context. SM1 on the left, SM2 on the right.

I've only had one cup of coffee this morning, but, I can't see what changes when the SM button is clicked...

Just about every time I get a file off the forum I convert the file to SM2 format, it allows me to see where the sketches are placed relative to the model. Also, I have been using SM2 for about 2 years, I get to design and see the entire model.
The problom with SM2 is the fact that you can't see sketches imbeded in the model so most everyone uses (SM1), the FreeCAD default. If we can change the global transparency easily then we all can start using SM2.

why don't you just click on the Sketcher_ViewSection tool/icon in sketcher wb.
