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.
=========================================
The autoconstraints on creation of an hexagon were not working.
How to reproduce?
1. In a sketch make a couple of lines
2. Create an hexagon (or other polygon of your choice) with center in one end of a line and with side coincident with the end point of the other line
Result:
Neither the center nor the side autoconstraints are properly created.
Fix:
Straightforward. Just correct the indexes. Last is always the circle. Last but one is always a side.
========================================================================================
How to replicate:
1. Go to Preferences->Display->Sketch and disable that checkbox.
2. Create a distance constraint (radius, distance, ...)
It will ask for the value regardless of whether the checkbox is clicked or not.
Why?
In SketcherSettings.ui the prefpath is "Mod/Sketcher"
The code refered to ParameterGrp::handle hGrp = App::GetApplication().GetParameterGroupByPath("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Sketcher/General");
=============================================================
This function is like this from 2011 according to git blame.
The original code makes no sense. I assume that what is intended in this
function (in accordance with SketchPy.xml) is call the method clear in
Sketch.cpp.
