===============================================
When creating a type of geometric element, the user can create as many elements of that type he wishes without having to click the button before each insertion.
The insertion of that type of elements ends by pressing ESC or clicking the right button of the mouse.
This mode is by default disabled and can be enabled in Preferences->Display->Sketch->Geometry Creation "Continue Mode".
===================================================================================================
This fixes a bug in the original implementation, that a non-driving constraint value could be
edited by double clicking on it in the 3D view.
It also includes minimal documentation on some functions.
It also includes:
- Color setting for non-driving constraints was not working.
- Settle UI terminology dispute:
* Driving Constraint (normal red constraint)
* Reference Constraint (non-driving constraint)
====================================================================================
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.
Existing code was producing invalid results:
a = 9876543212346789864323456.9543234578986432345678
>>> print "{:.13}".format(repr(a))
9.87654321234
>>> a
9.87654321234679e+24
The new converision should work fine:
>>> print "{:.13E}".format(a)
9.8765432123468E+24

getccxVolumesByFace returns std::map<int, int> with ID of volume
and a number of face as per CalculiX definition. The same function is
accessible for python and returns list with the same information, like
this: [[229, 3], [230, 3], [233, 2], [238, 2]]
write_face_load produces something like this in the .inp file:
***********************************************************
** element + CalculiX face + load in [MPa]
** written by write_face_load function
*DLOAD
** Load on face Face2
