===============================================
It is a long felt need that redundant constraints are not generated while autoconstraining.
The solver sketcher in v0.17 is überpicky with redundants due to the new popularity contest algorithm. The former behaviour is exhacerbated.
This new mode enables automatic redundant constraint removal.
In UI operations IN EDIT MODE, upon detection of redundancy by the solver, the Sketcher will remove all redundant constraints detected by that solve.
This makes the sketcher much less annoying.
How to test this?
The easiest example is to create a vertical line. Then make the endpoints symmetric with respect to the horizontal axis. Without this mode,
the vertical constraint and the symmetry constraint are redundant. With this mode, the vertical constraint gets automatically removed by the Sketcher.
=======================================
- Fixing toggle AutoUpdate Mode
- Fix Auto-Update Sketcher tools
- Fix missing createGeo recomputes
- Missing constraints recomputes fixed
Various fixes for non-Update mode:
- Fixes lack of update upon entering a conflicting datum constraint.
- Fixes lack of update upon setting the reference/driving status of a constraint
- Added tooltips to buttons
==================================================================================
Geometry button:
- if no object selected, the legacy toggle icon has a new functionality, switch to/from creating in construction mode
- if object selected, it has the legacy functionality
- the button can be clicked during "continuos creation mode" to switch from creating to/from creating in construction mode
Constraint button:
- The button is not selectable if nothing is selected (it would be impossible to determine the effect)
- When constraints are selected, the button toggles the constraints to/from Driving.
- When geometry is selected, the button switches from/to reference mode, the change is apparent from the color of the constraint icons.
Continuous creation mode:
- Default changed so that it is active unless you change it in settings
