| Summary | 0000287: Draft to sketch interface | ||||
| Description | Hi, Maybe this does not make sense, but I know that there are some pretty cool stuff you can do with polylines in draft (move, rotate, offset, trim), and sketcher, although it is early stage, allows constraint editing (horizontal, vertical, length...). It would be useful if you could make sketch out of draft polyline, and also if you could convert sketch polylines to draft polylines. Just a thought. Regards, Petar Perisin | ||||

Draft to sketch is not possible at the moment and also difficult IMHO (why would you? actually). Probably it would be possible to make the sketcher import edges from other geometry, but even so this would have little utility, because it would create a new sketch, not have effect on the edges you imported. Being able to add constraints to existing objects, I'm afraid this is a pretty heavy task. But for Sketch to draft, try using the "upgrade" tool on a sketch? ;) |

well, this crossed my mind after I did offset with draft and wanted to modify some points after that (move them, but with constraints). I know that it would create new sketch, and not have effect on existing draft stuff, but that is ok-just add sketcher polyline inside sketch. It is just for now when not many constraints stuff are in sketcher thanx for the tip about sketch to draft. |

What we could do, however, is try to make those basic Draft operations (move, rotate, scale) work on sketches. But this is probably not possible at the moment, since the sketcher is still young, its functionality is still reduced. But I'll have a look anyway, maybe keep this for later if not possible now. |
|

Actually I discovered that move and rotate work pretty well with sketches! Other operations such as offsetting or scaling won't be very easy to do at the moment but probably when the sketcher grows better it'll be possible. |

I'll close this for now because that's about as far as we can go at the moment, but don't hesitate to reopen when things evolve and a specific point can be addressed... |
