=======================================================
set/get/toggle python interface to enable to set the virtual space status of a constraint via SketchObject.
=============================================================
This commit allows the user to select in advance whether he wants a simple copy or a clone.
This involves substitution of dimensional constraints in the copies by equality and parallel constraints.
Terminology change for Arrays, now it is Rectangular array
======================================================
Two new python commands (no UI yet).
Copy: Copies the geoids in a list by a displacement given by a Vector3d:
App.ActiveDocument.Sketch001.addCopy([0,1,2,3,4,5],App.Vector(150,150,0))
Array: Copies the geoids in a list cols times in the displacement vector
direction and rows times in the perpendicular to the displacement vector:
App.ActiveDocument.Sketch001.addArray([0,1,2,3,4,5], App.Vector(150,150,0),3,4)
N.B.: You need to recompute or solve to update the view
App.ActiveDocument.recompute()
or
App.ActiveDocument.Sketch001.solve()
=====================================
Creates geometry symmetric to the selected one with respect to the last selected point or line.
It does not support the following constraints:
- Angle
- Horiz/vertical distance
- SnellLaw
Horizontal and Vertical (directional) dimensions removed from the the copying process when created
on a single edge (by picking one edge instead of two points), i.e. Constraint involving only one GeoId at "First".
======================================================================
- Changing from Driving to reference does not include unnecessary solvings.
- Added some checks to avoid making Driving constraints when calling directly from python and involving only external geometry (would give redundant constraints).
- New python command toggleDriving to just change the status from reference to Driving
- New UI toolbar Command to toggle constraints
- Fix to allow switching from/to construction mode during continuous mode creation.
- Enable/Disable for constraints in constraints widget has changed to operate on multiselection and now effects "toggle" instead of enable/disable.
- Disable the option to directly create a SnellsLaw non-driving constraint (this constraint does not support direct creation, it can be toggled to non-driving after creation though).
====================================================================================
It allows to enable and disable a constraint in the constraint list.
When disabled, the constraints current value is shown, but its value is not enforced (it is driven by the other constraints and user interaction).
A disabled constraint can be enabled (as far as it is enforceable, see non-driving constraints to external geometry below).
The sketcher functionality has been extended to support non-driving constraints to external geometry elements. This were previously excluded from
the possibility of creating a constraint on them (as their values depend on other sketches and would be redundant with the unchanged value or conflicting when value is changed).
Now these constraints are created as non-driving, but as they are not enforceable, the UI does not allow you to make them driving.
The constraint filter has been extended to include a Non-Driving constraints category.
Thanks again to Werner for his continuous support, and specially in this case to DeepSOIC, as he pointed towards a much better implementation solution than my original idea.
AngleViaPoint: fixes in UI routines + new messages
Goofed undo message in tangency via point is fixed.
Forgotten updateActive, clearSelection have been added.
New more informative error messages for tangent constraint.
AngleViaPoint: using it instead of via line tangency
* replaced the helper construction line for ellipse-to-ellipse and
similar tangency with a point. Using tangent-via-point there
* deleted tangency via line for point-to-point on
(cherry picked from commit 9e3fa8c8de0f49c0ef3c978e015eb905358dbdd9)
AngleViaPoint: internal/external tangency locking
*Added automatic tangency type lockdown for all new constraints (only
for point-wise tangency).
Tangency type is stored in the constraint datum field, as an angle value
shifted by Pi/2 (to be able to treat 0.0 as undefined type).
Added ability to switch the tangency by setting datum value from python
(can be abused by passing arbitrary angle).
Further simplified the tangency related code in Sketch.cpp.
AngleViaPoint: added license to Geo.cpp
AngleViaPoint: renames in Constraints.cpp/.h
Changed some names to increase self-explanatoryness:
bool "remapped" renamed to "pvecChangedFlag"
"ReconstructEverything()" renamed to "ReconstructGeomPointers()"
AngleViaPoint: renames in Constraints.cpp/.h
Changed some names to increase self-explanatoryness:
bool "remapped" renamed to "pvecChangedFlag"
"ReconstructEverything()" renamed to "ReconstructGeomPointers()"
AngleViaPoint: using for endpoint perpendicularity
+ direction lockdown, just as with tangency.
+ quite a lot of old code is gone because of that
AngleViaPoint: perp-ty UI routine made similar to tangent
(Git has made a very messy diff.)
The changes are:
* Perpendicularity-via-point (3-element selection) support added.
* Endpoint-to-curve and endpoint-to-endpoint supports all shape
combinations.
* a bit of code cleanup and clarifications.
AngleViaPoint: placement of perpendicular icon in 3d view
AngleViaPoint: fix: allow setDatum of perpendicular constraint
AngleViaPoint: fix: centers of ellipses are not endpoints
isSimpleVertex used to return false for centers of ellipses and arcs of
ellipses, which made them being accepted for point-to-point tangency.
Should be fixed forever, mo more changes are expected to be necessary
for new types of geometry.
AngleViaPoint: precalc with OCC (work in progress)
Work in progress (not yet working).
Using OCC's tangent to replace implementation of
SketchObject::calculateAngleViaPoint.
AngleViaPoint: fix math: normal now points inwards, where it was intended initially and goofed up.
AngleViaPoint: adding comments to the code
AngleViaPoint: using GeomCurve::closestParameterToBasicCurve for angle precalculation
AngleViaPoint: Py method: changeConstraintsLocking
changeConstraintsLocking(True) - locks/re-locks all lockable
tangency/perpendicularity constraints of the sketch (applicable to
existing sketches).
changeConstraintsLocking(False) - removes locking information from
lockable constraints
AngleViaPoint: final SketchObject::calculateAngleViaPoint
Now, finally, using OCC functionality (thanks Abdullah!), without
composing temporary Sketch object.
Solver iteration limit independent of system size (reduces hangs when
solver fails to converge).
Repaint() instead of update() to force render for every movePoint.
Sketcher: New Constraint AngleViaPoint
* Adding generic CalculateNormal() method
* Reconfiguration of GCS geometry classes: adding a base class "Curve",
that has a pure virtual function CalculateNormal().
* Initial inplementation of the new function.
* adding Vector2D class (I wanted to reuse the existing, but got wierd
compile errors, so implemented a new one... TODO.)
* Adding redirection support into GCS shapes. Adding a Copy method to
GCS::Curve.
* Automatic point-on-object
* Angle precalculation: when AngleViaPoint is added, angle is properly calculated based on
existing geometry.
* Added tangency-via-point using one.
* Implemented placement of tangency-via-point icon in 3d view. Also
affected is the placement of point-on-object icon (since it is very
similar code, it is now shared with tangency-via-point)
* Placement and moving of angle datum
Functions: calculateAngleViaPoint, isPointOnCurve,
calculateConstraintError exposed to python
* Endpoint tangency: All endpoint-to-endpoint and endpoint-to-curve tangency now works
through AngleViaPoint constraint and obsolete code clean up (most procedures
addConstraintTangentXXX2YYY)
- ArcOfEllipse enhancement: Tangency ArcOfEllipse to ArcOfEllipse or ArcOfCircle by selecting end/starting points...
- Minor bug corrections (Thanks DeepSOIC)
- ExposeInternalGeometry python command
- DeleteUnusedInternalGeometry python command
- On deletion of an Ellipse/ArcOfEllipse all further unconstrained internal geometry is also deleted.
- This cleans up the code by eliminating code repetition in the creation methods.
- Major bug fix for autoconstraints for ellipse and arc of ellipse creation (for both creation methods)
- Major bug fix Start and Endpoint constraints of an arc of ellipse where not taking into account that Sketcher arcs are always CCW, so they have to be exchanged if we convert a CW arc into a CCW arc.
Sketcher: General bug fix: Tangency wrongly suggested
What?
=====
- On creation of a shape autoconstraints are suggested.
- Tangent autoconstraint was suggested even with lines perpendicular to the tangency direction
Reproduce
=========
- Make a circle on the origin and move the mouse along the X axis, it will suggest a tangency that is impossible
- Click on the axis and no circle will be created
Solution
========
- The SeekConstraint now can use the parameter dir to give a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the expected tangency, so that
if an object having a direction (a line) is hit, a tangency will not be suggested if within around 6 degrees of being parallel.
- Additionally, if such a line is an X,Y axis of the sketch, tangency will only be suggested if the direction is within 6 degrees of being perpendicular (i.e. it is almost tangent already while sketching).
- This difference is due to the fact that an X or Y axis can not "move" to meet the object under creation, whereas a line can.
