=================================
Copy constructor made private, as copies are handled via copy() and clone() methods which generate pointers, not objects.
Private copy constructor, used for copy(), made default implementation.
Destructor made default.
Copy and Clone made non-virtual, as the class does not have children.
Added override to persistance inherited virtual functions.
move operators explicitly disallowed to note that they are not intended in the current implementation.
Perfectly ok to have only private copy constructor for internal use
=====================================================================
The constraint class has been extended so that every constraint knows and serializes whether it is in virtual space or in normal real space.
===================================
An additional index for internal geometry elements is introduced, to be stored only Internal Aligment constraint and backwards compatible.
=========================================
The problem:
Mirror stopped working.
How to reproduce:
Select a sketch, and apply "Mirror Sketch" from the menu.
Why?
With the introduction of expressions, mirror sketch stopped working. The reason is that mirror functionality did use the "clone" function to make copies of constraints
and then modify their values. After expessions introduction, which introduces a unique tag per constraint, this copy was regarded as a "rename" of the original constraint
as they shared the unique tag.
Fix?
New function "copy()" for a constraint, that copies all the content but the tag.
====================================================================================
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.
- Ellipse introduction button via (center,majaxis extreme, a point in edge), ellipse is always CCW so that Z axis goes in the positive direction of the sketch
- Backwards compatibility with files of previous versions of ellipse not defining a phi angle
- Art by Jim (all the icons you see and the XPMs shown on creation of an ellipse)
- Element Widget support for ellipses
- Box selection for ellipses
- Point on Ellipse constraint based on the gardener's method based on Ulrich's function proposal (radcan simplified, i.e. with simplify_radical sage function)
- Tangent: Ellipse to Line based on DeepSOIC's geometric formulation (radcan simplified)
Sketcher New Feature: Internal Alignment Constraint
- The element to which internal alignment is applied has to be selected last.
- All other elements are added in the order of priority, taking into account existing elements
- Art by Jim (beautiful icons).
Sketcher New Feature: Tool to show/hide/restore the internal geometry of an element
- New functionality for show/hide internal geometry:
toggles between hiding all unused internal geometry elements and showing all internal geometry.
The restore function is implicit to the showing all internal geometry
Sketcher New Feature: Arc of Ellipse support
- Part::Geometry + Python implementation
- ArcOfEllipse creation method
- Art by Jim (all the icons you see and the XPMs shown on creation of arc of ellipse elements)
- Sketcher Element widget for ArcOfEllipse.
Bug fix: Select elements associated to constraints works now for foci internal alignment constraints
