Wow! Very nice What about a little counter to add more than 1?
No, I think it should just ignore the 2nd one at the time of creation and not select it, as it would normally be the 1st node being selected as the last node again. I really donāt mind either way, but to have a bunch of warnings popping up every 2 seconds can get a bit annoying.
Which brings up something elseā¦
I know that once you have progressed through the sequence of selecting nodes & curves, when you get far enough, you get an indication of the progress of your selectionsā¦ but sometimes, you doubt whether you actually clicked on an object because thereās nothing to let you know that you did. So you click again and this, if it was selected the 1st time, would unselect it.
Is there a way to highlight or mark the objects selected? Like when using the movie or group tools the selected objects get a dotted box around them?
Well that was my thought. If you are only inserting a single point node, not so bad, but if you inserted a bunch it would get anmoying as it cycles through checking each node.
I mainly just wanted to point out the behavior of duplicate nodes and notches.
They are highlighted with the crawling ants ie: dotted (or dashed) box. Maybe I could change the color of the box to the Preferred primary selection color? In any case I find the beep to help, as sometimes you click and nothing is selected. Kinda like the grocery checkout scanners. I also found I need to slow down clicking objects. Again for me thatās where waiting for the beep helps.
Iām not too sure where to put this but I guess this is as good a place as any, since it has to do with the piece/layout mode.
Iām busy doing the layout for a size-test pattern and I only want SA on the side seams. Iāve started the piece at the top left node and selected all the curves & nodes that I need to outline the pattern piece. All went well. Then I added the SA, as usual. All went well. But then I selected the 1st node (top left) and removed the SA after that nodeā¦ set it to 0. All the seam allowances disappeared. Put it back, all was fine again. I removed all the seam allowances everywhere that I need them removed, except for this node. Saved, closed & reopened. Everything was fine.
Removed the After SA of that 1st node & the others all disappeared again.
Iāve reduced the SA to 0.33cm on the After SA & itās fine, but if I set it to 0.32cm or less, all disappear again.
Any suggestions?
It worked just fine on the back piece where I started with E26:
I still have yet to wrap my head around all the nuances of the SA code, but I know there is still some abnormal behaviors with the SAās. Since the code is working in the realm of real numbers, thereās a bunch of fuzzy math going on, so when for ex a test is made between 2 points if theyāre equalā¦ well they may be off by .000001 and therefore not equal. With the fuzzy math thereās a closeness factor (epislon) , where if thereās a difference of .0001, itās could be considered close enough. This could be the case where you say .33 cm works while .32cm does not. ?? Maybe we need to look at setting the epsilon bigger? Or it could be something completely differentā¦ thereās also a lot of geometry going on with the SAās.
Sometimes changing the starting node fixes the issue.
